20) When a mutation leads to a substitution of a different amino acid within a protein, this is a _________________ mutation. A. nonsense B. missense C. silent D. deletion

Consider two genes with different expected mutation rates due to size. Gene 1 has a mutation rate of 1 x 10-6 in the population, while gene 2 has a mutation rate of 3 x 10-6 in the population. Assume that the probability for an individual to have two mutations in one gene is 0. Also, the number of bases, n, in a gene is large. State the probability for gene 1 and for gene 2 that there is exactly one...
