Re: Only one mutation per individual
You say
​
Only one mutation per individual
​
Yet you quote
​
on average each new human being possesses one new allele through mutation
​
So, let’s use 0.6-per-individual as the rate of new alleles in the population
​
One new allele per individual at birth?
​
And you conclude
​
So yes, I got it from this discussion.
​
Please please say you've now spotted the obvious error...

Re: Only one mutation per individual
Faith is correct that she got the figure of one new allele per individual
​
No, Faith somehow got the figure of one new MUTATION per individual, as per the subtitle above...

Re: Only one mutation per individual
What she meant but expressed poorly with "what mutations do" is cause one new allele per individual
​
Perhaps, but given the following...

Answering your assertion that I was wrong about 1 mutation and that I got it from this discussion...
​
I get the distinct impression that "mutation" and "allele" are being substantially confused... or is that really not news for this thread?
