Given a population size of 100,000,000 (108) and a mutation rate of 0.001% calculate the number of expected mutants. Under what circumstances will these mutations increase in the population? Decrease? Remain constant?
Homework Answers
Population size = 100,000,000
Mutation rate = 0.001%
No. of mutants= Population size * Mutation rate/100
= 100,000,000*0.001/100
= 1000 mutants
A particular mutation may be beneficial, harmful or neutral for a population and hence gets decided whether its frequency will increase, decrease or remain constant over generations. The particular mutation may be favored in a population if it increases their fitness. E.g. sickle cell trait in African population. This trait gets naturally selected in a population where malaria rate is high. Heterozygous allele helps individuals survive better. Mutations which do not affect fitness of the individuals occur at a constant rate since they get weakly selected.

More Calculating Population Size Populations of any organism can be analyzed mathematically. Population biologists are interested in characteristics such as doubling time, growth rate, carrying capacity, and total population at the end of a given amount of time. These calculations depend on such variables as birth and death rate, immigration and emigration, and initial population size. Use the following formulas to find the population size for each of the...

In C++ Transient Population Populations are effected by the birth and death rate, as well as the number of people who move in and out each year. The birth rate is the percentage increase of the population due to births and the death rate is the percentage decrease of the population due to deaths. Write a program that displays the size of a population for any number of years. The program should ask for the following data: The starting size...
