Question 17. The figure on the right shows the distribution of fitnesses of bacteriophage f1 mutants, relative to the wild type. A relative fitness of 1 corresponds to a fitness identical to that of the wild type. The fitness of the all mutants counted in the column labeled 1.0 (i.e., from 0.95 to 1.05) is not significantly different from 1.0. Which of the following statements is true? a) Approximately 10% of mutations are deleterious. b) Approximately 20% of mutations are lethal. c) Approximately 40% of mutations are beneficial. d) Approximately 60% of mutations are lethal. e) Approximately 80% of mutations are beneficial. Proportion (%) 50 40 30 20 10 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 1.2 Relative fitness
