16. If at a bi-allelic genomic locus, there are two alleles A, and C, such that A can mutate into C with a probability 1x104 in every generation, and a population hasA alleles at frequency 0.4, what would be the frequency of the (a) A allele after one generation of mutation? (b) the C allele after two generations of mutation?
