Answer 1 / 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the first

of the three mutants will take over the population = 2 / 100

The probability that the second

of the three mutants will take over the population = 1.01 / 100

The probability that the third

of the three mutants will take over the population = 0.99 / 100

Therefore, the probability that each of the three mutants will take over the population = probability of the first,second or third = 2 / 100 + 1.01 / 100 + 0.99 / 100 = (2+1.01+0.99)/100 = 4 / 100 = 2/25
