- A recent estimate of the rate of base substitutions atSNP loci is about 1 × 10−8 per nucleotide pair pergamete.a. Based on this estimate, about how many de novomutations (that is, mutations not found in the genomes of your parents) are present in your own genome?b. Where and when did these de novo mutations inyour genome most likely occur?c. It has been calculated that each sperm made in a25-year-old man is the result on average of about300 rounds of cell division, starting with the firstmitotic division of the male zygote. In contrast,each mature oocyte found in a 5-month-old femalehuman fetus is the result of about 25 rounds of division, starting with the first mitotic division of thefemale zygote.
