Why such a high mutation rate for
dystrophin?
• Gene is 2.4 Mb long
• Average normal gene is 10,000-20,000
bases
• 2,000,000/20,000 = 100 times longer
than normal gene
Consequences of A Large Gene
• Many “disease” alleles that cause
muscular dystrophy

Consequences of A Large Gene
• Many “disease” alleles that cause
muscular dystrophy
• Detected in domesticated organisms
– Why not from individuals in the wild?

Polar Bears
Number of New Alleles Per Generation
A) Less than 1
B) Between 1 and 10
C) Between 10 and 100
D) Between 100 and 1000
E) More than 1000
Polar Bears
Calculate the expected number of new mutant alleles in a
population given the following data:
µ = 10-5 - 10-6 per gene per generation
Population size = 20,000
diploid
Total number of genes = 2 x 20,000 = 40,000
New alleles each generation = 40,000 x 10-6 to 40,000 x
10-5
New alleles each generation = 0.04 to 0.4
Humans
Number of New Alleles Per Generation
A) Less than 1
B) Between 1 and 10
C) Between 10 and 100
D) Between 100 and 1000
E) More than 1000
Humans
Calculate the expected number of new mutant alleles in a
population given the following data:
µ = 10-5 - 10-6 per gene per generation
Population size = 7,000,000,000
Total number of genes = 2 x 7,000,000,000 =
14,000,000,000
New alleles each generation = 14,000,000,000 x 10-6 to
14,000,000,000 x 10-5
New alleles each generation = 14,000 to 140,000

E. coli
Calculate the expected number of new mutant alleles in a
population given the following data:
µ = 10-5 - 10-6 per gene per generation
Population size per human = 10 grams/1 x 10-12 cells/g =
1013 cells
Total number of genes = 7 x 109 x 1013 = 7 x 1022
New alleles each generation = 7 x 1022 x 10-6 to 7 x 1022 x
10-5
New alleles each generation = 7 x 1016 to 7 x 1017
….or 70,000,000,000,000,000 new alleles born per gene
per generation
