Neutral Theory and rate of evolution

K = 1/2N x 2Nμ K = Sub rate 1/2N = Prob of fixation of a new mutation 2Nμ = number of mutations in new gen K= μ rate of evolution is the mutation rate Neutral mutation becomes fixed = proportion of pop Large pops, have more mutations that take longer to fix. Small pops have fewer mutations and are easier to fix, Evolution proceeds at a constant rate
