Question
Chapter 19, Problem 9TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Mutations in a gene can lead to the creation of new alleles and new genes in an individual.
However, a mutated allele does not automatically become prevalent in a population. Mutation
introduces alleles at a very low rate. The benefit of the new allele varies.
