Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 99TDI
You friend Stacie says, “I understand how a point mutation
can result in a nonsense mutation, but I don’t get how a
frameshift mutation can result in a nonsense mutation. Can
it?” What do you say? Can you come up with an example of
a frameshift mutation that results in a nonsense mutation?

A research team is studying a population of snails to determine how quickly characteristic B will pass from one generation to the next. At the start of the study, 20% of the snails have characteristic B. After five generations, 81% of the population has characteristic B. Find
the percent of the population that will have characteristic B after eight generations. (Assume a = 2 and b = 1. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
