Question

You have induced a rare mutation in a microbe which in special media has 50% higher specific growth rate (2/3rd the doubling time) of the normal cells. If the mutation frequency is 1*10^-6, how many generations of the normal culture are needed for the populations of mutant and normal cells to be equal?

Answer 1
