Summary Introduction

To calculate:

The forward and reverse mutation rates at the locus, if the mutations rates are representative of rates in natural populations of mice.

Introduction:

The forward mutation is defined as the changes which occur to convert the functional or wild type genes into the non-functional genes. When the mutant alleles revert back to the wild type, it is known as reverse mutation.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The expected equilibrium frequency of diluted mutations.

Introduction:

The equilibrium state is achieved when an allele frequency and the genotype of a population does not change over many generations. This type of equilibrium is seen in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
