You sample DNA from seven bighorn sheep from a population of 2,000 in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. You sequence 10,000 basepairs from an intron in a diploid coat color locus. You think the SNP mutation rate is somewhere around 10-3 per generation for the whole locus. How many SNPs do you expect to find?

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
