Question

. Rare white-flowered plants occur in a population of normally blue-flowered plants. The
frequency of these white-flowered plants is 6.2 x 10-4. The blue-flowered plants produce a seed set with an average of 365 seeds, whereas the white-flowered plants produce a seed set with an average of 187 seeds. It is known that the white-flower phenotype is caused by a completely recessive allele. Assume that this population is randomly mating and has reached equilibrium between selection and mutation. What is the mutation rate from the blue-flower allele to the
white-flower allele?
