Figure 9-7 shows an experiment used to determine the spontaneous mutation rate in E.coli.If the spontaneous mutation rate in E.coli is 1 mistake in every 10⁹ nucleotides copied, about how many colonies would you expect to see on the plates lacking histidine if you were to assay 10¹¹ cells from the culture for their ability to form colonies? Figure 9-7 shows an experiment used to determine the spontaneous mutation rate in E.coli.If the spontaneous mutation rate in E.coli is 1 mistake in every 10<sup>9</sup> nucleotides copied, about how many colonies would you expect to see on the plates lacking histidine if you were to assay 10<sup>11</sup> cells from the culture for their ability to form colonies?
