[2][3] There are several test utilized in measuring the chances of mutation frequency and rates occurring in a particular gene pool.
This reveals the positive correlation in how males are most likely to contribute to genetic disorders that reside within X-linked recessive chromosome.
[7] There are additional factors affecting mutation frequency and rates involving evolutionary influences.
[8] Mutation frequencies in the cerebellum (90% neurons) and male germ cells were lower than in liver and adipose tissue.
Furthermore, the mutation frequencies increased with age in liver and adipose tissue, whereas in the cerebellum and male germ cells the mutation frequency remained constant[8] Dietary restricted rodents live longer and are generally healthier than their ad libitum fed counterparts.
