Answer:

B) 6*10^-5

Explanation:

When you want to know the mutation rate per-locus you only have to multiply the number of base pairs of that locus by the mutation rate per base pair. Its a matter of what is the probability that every base pair in that locus could mutate.

(4*10^-8)*(1500)=6*10^-5
