Question
You study a group of wombats for your honours thesis. You find in your very
large population samples a non-synonymous mutation at intermediate
frequency (p = 0.45). After years of work, you find that both alleles (the mutant
and the non-mutant) are maintained in the population. Whose theory is your

Despite having the same parents, full siblings are not genetically identical
because of:
i) the independent assortment of parental chromosomes
ii) new mutations that occur in the soma
ii) chromosomal crossover
