Have no idea where he got that number from. |
Ah, so that's what he meant. DNA_Jock explains PaV's arithmetic.
| Quote | DNA_Jock: Your math is correct (for a specific allele – not “ANY favorable allele” – perhaps you meant to write “any PARTICULAR favorable allele”) if and only if this specific allele magically remains at one copy in the population prior to every one of the 60 culls.
As in: “Errr, only if it hasn’t replicated.”
Waaay beyond goofy. |

I know I'm an odd guy, but if I were going to attempt to use a toy population genetics example to make some sort of point, I would probably consider, ya know, learning at least a little bit about population genetics before doing so.
