2. a). By itself, is mutation a strong evolutionary force? b). You are studying a population of kangaroo rats on the Pawnee (yes, they really do live out there). Of the 50 adult individuals that you study, 19 are have the long whiskers allele (W) allele and 31 have the short whiskers allele (w). There is a constant mutation rate of 10-3 or 0.001 from the W→w allele. Mutation is the only source of new variation (no migration, selection or...
