Re: Only one mutation per individual
You say
Only one mutation per individual
Yet you quote
on average each new human being possesses one new allele through mutation
So, let’s use 0.6-per-individual as the rate of new alleles in the population
One new allele per individual at birth?
And you conclude
So yes, I got it from this discussion.
Please please say you've now spotted the obvious error...

Re: Only one mutation per individual
Faith is correct that she got the figure of one new allele per individual
No, Faith somehow got the figure of one new MUTATION per individual, as per the subtitle above...

Re: Only one mutation per individual
What she meant but expressed poorly with "what mutations do" is cause one new allele per individual
Perhaps, but given the following...

Answering your assertion that I was wrong about 1 mutation and that I got it from this discussion...
I get the distinct impression that "mutation" and "allele" are being substantially confused... or is that really not news for this thread?
