Problem 2.8 Graph Equation 2.7 as a function of 4Nu. What value of 4Nu gives a reasonable fit to the average heterozygosity for proteins as described by electrophoretic studies in humans?

Note:

Equation 2.7:

   

Set t = 4Nu

import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

def f(t):
   return 1/(1+t)

t = np.arange(0, 1, 0.1)
plt.plot(t, f(t) , color='red')
plt.show()

Output:

Proteins as described by electrophoretic studies in humans see #note Population Genetics A Concise Guide (4) .

So 0.52 = 1/1+t, t = 0.923
