Question
If a bacterial cell contains 5,000 genes and if the average mutation frequency per gene is 2 ×10 ⁻⁴ per generation, the average number of new mutations per generation is _________.
Explanation
Mechanistically, Mendelian segregation involves allele distribution and recombination generate phenotypic variation. This validates Option NAT because it follows segregation and linkage principles, a pattern repeatedly demonstrated in genetics research. This mechanism is extensively documented and reinforced by experimental data across multiple model systems and textbook discussions.
