3. My neighbor grows tasty Kaffir limes (Citrus hystrix). Limes purchased in aurantiifolia. An 8,356 bp neutral region is sequenced from both of these lime species. A common ancestor between these two species is estimated to have been present 6 million years ago. The generation time for these two lime trees is 6 years. The mutation rate (u) is 4E-08. How many substitutions are expected in the 8,356 bp neutral region between these two different lime species? Show your calculations and explain.
