5 0

Answer:

500

Explanation:

Mutation rate is largely known as changes that occur in the frequency of a particular gene over an extended period of time

the  mutation rate of a particular gene = 1 × 10⁻⁶

The expected mutations after 500 million sperm are examined will be:

= (1 × 10⁻⁶)×(500,000,000)

= 500

Thus, The expected mutations  = 500

BaLLatris [955]

This is not possible with foods that contain only one type of molecule.
