Mutation-Selection Balance Problem 5
Incorrect!
Tutorial to help us answer problem 5.
For some selection coefficient s1 and some mutation rate μ1 we have the following equation for q*,
We would like to know what happens to q* if we quadruple the mutation rate. To see this, we set s2 = s1 (as we are not changing the strength of the selection) and μ2 = 4μ1,
Therefore, quadrupling the mutation rate doubles q*.
