They were (and still can be) shot with X-rays. This heightens mutation rate is Neurospora spores.
Is a mutation rate used to construct a gene map?
no but i am awesome and you are not
When the rate of repair lags behind the rate of mutation what is a possible fate of the cell?

What is degeneracy in linear programing problem?
the phenomenon of obtaining a degenerate basic feasible solution in a linear programming problem known as degeneracy.
How does the mutation rate affect the speed at which a population adapts to its environment?
it blends in with its surroundings.
Degeneracy in transportation problem?
Degeneracy in a transport problem arises when the number of occupied cells is less then: (number of columns + number of rows)-1
What is the relationship between mutation rates and generation span?
The relationship between mutation rates and generation span is that they both have in impact on the Mitochondrial DNA diversity patterns,unexpected variation of mutation rate across species
Why are there so many immunological variants of HIV?
Probably because of its high mutation rate.
Why must pharmaceutical companies develop flu vaccines every year?
Influenza is an RNA virus. Being that it is an RNA virus it has a high rate of mutation that goes unchecked. This high rate of mutation leads to different strains of the influenza virus
What is considered to be the average natural mutation rate that occurs during DNA replication?
It is suggested that mutation rates are on the order of 10 X(neg8) per site per generation.
What would happen if the rate of mutation slowed down?
Fewer new variations would arise.
Do antibiotics increase the rate of spontaneous mutation?
no, it just kills you very slowly and very deadly
