Consider a locus with two alleles, A and a. If the rate of mutation of A to a is 0.0000025 and the rate of mutation of a to A is 0.0000010, what will be the equilibrium frequency of the A allele? (Recall that the equilibrium allele frequency under mutation is p* - v/(m +v), where p* is the equilibrium frequency of the A allele, m is the rate of mutation from A to a, and v is the rate of mutation from a to A.) Consider a locus with two alleles, A and a. If the rate of mutation of A to a is 0.0000025 and the rate of mutation of a to A is 0.0000010, what will be the equilibrium frequency of the A allele? (Recall that the equilibrium allele frequency under mutation is p* - v/(m +v), where p* is the equilibrium frequency of the A allele, m is the rate of mutation from A to a, and v is the rate of mutation from a to A.)
