Genetic drift and mutation

Genetic drift and mutation

This simulation illustrates the interaction between mutation and genetic drift. Users may select from three different population sizes (25, 100, 250) and several different mutation rates (none, 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01). 32 populations are simulated simultaneously and the results are displayed as a frequency histogram.
