A snake population has a mutation that causes snakes to turn purple rather than green. it is found in 1/10,000 snakes in the general population. They are trying to determine the specific mutation rate of a snake population near a radiation field, 500 of these snakes where sampled and they found that 8 of them had the mutation. What is the mutation rate for the purple mutation in the radiation population? What would the frequency of the recessive allele be at equilibrium if the selection coefficient was 2.0?
Answer:
Frequency of the recessive allele at equilibrium if the selection coefficient was 2.0
