Humans carry one to two lethal recessive mutations on average, study estimates Posted on April 8, 2015 by Kevin Jiang Humans carry on average one to two mutations that, if inherited from both parents, can cause severe genetic disorders or death before reaching reproductive age, report scientists from the University of Chicago and Columbia University.
A mutation rate is the number of mutations which occur on average per generation. Mutation rates are determined by comparing the DNA of offspring to parents, and counting up the differences. Mutation rates differ from species to species and can be affected by the environment (more UV radiation for example can produce higher mutation rates), and by the age of the parents. When a child is born they receive half a copy of their DNA from their father and half a copy from their mother.
