The mutation rate to a lethal, recessive genetic illness

Reference no: EM13527349

The mutation rate to a lethal, recessive genetic illness is 10-14. Individuals die before they get a chance to reproduce. Under mutation-selection balance, what is the equilibrium frequency of the heterozygous genotype? Imagine it was discovered that, in a population of Icelanders, the frequency of this allele was .01. What is the explanation for the high frequency
