Biology

Consider two genes with different expected mutation rates due tosize. Gene 1 has a mutation rate of 1 x 10-6 in the population,while gene 2 has a mutation rate of 3 x 10-6 in the population.Assume that the probability for an individual to have two mutationsin one gene is 0. Also, the number of bases, n, in a gene islarge.

  1. State the probability that there are more than two people withmutations total between the two genes in your sample.

  2. Consider the case that gene 2 controls the potential for mutationof gene 1. If gene 2 is mutated, gene 1 has a probability of 50% ofbeing mutated, while if gene 2 is not mutated, gene 1 has aprobability of 10% of being mutated. What is the probability thatgene 1 is mutated in an individual.
