Consider a healthy adult animal in which 1015 cell divisions have taken place since birth. spontaneous mutations can occur at a rate of approximately one nucleotide out of about ten billion nucleotides every time dna is replicated. the animal has a diploid genome size of about 2 billion nucleotides. assuming that only about 5% of mutations occur within genes or gene regulatory sequences, and further assuming that about 0.1% of those may cause cancer, how many potential cancer-causing mutations has the animal been able to successfully suppress (i. e. has been able to survive) during its lifetime?
