... unaffected by the other, and the probability of beneficial mutation does not increase with each mutation. You're wrong. That would be true, if the population was growing, but if it's size is stable, then the number of offspring will be approx. the same each year (or generation). Thus the mutation ...

This has not been observed in humans. However, I do understand that his has occurred in animal populations. Stresses in population in animal ...

But as generations pass and if the mutation prevails in the population, the chances are that two heterozygotes mate, possibly producing a homozygous offspring and the full effect of the mutation can be seen. ...
