The probability of a heterozygote mother contributing a recessive
allele to her child is 1/2. The probability of her heterozygote
father also contributing a recessive allele is 1/2. The probability
that the child will be homozygous recessive is 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4. That
is the application of the law of multiplication of probabilities to
genetics and hence explains evolution properly.

I have now solved the problem of drug resistant bacteria, cured virus
diseases not to mention cancer, and eliminated pesticide resistant
insects. Now the medical profession, hitherto brainwashed into
innocently harming millions of people, can return to healing. I have
already made reservations in Oslo for the December ceremony to pick up
my award.

Oops, I just noticed that some Austrian monk did that calculation
already some 150 years ago. I guess it must have escaped peoples'
notice until now.

Oh, the Nobel Peace price for what?

You fail to address basic science and mathematics of the mutation and
selection phenomenon thus we have we have multidrug resistant microbes,
multiherbicide resistant weeds, multipesticide resistant insects and
less than durable cancer treatments. Good job!

Let "p" be the probability of a beneficial mutation.

There, I have now covered the entire subject far more thoroughly and
far more rigorously than the good double doctor ever has done.

I presume you have realized that if we just leave the bugs alone, then
each generation the unwanted characteristics will drop by 3/4's, and
then quickly disappear.

I have the following questions:
1) How do you propose to convince bacteria and viruses to reproduce
sexually?
2) If "p" be the probability of a beneficial mutation where should I
place my "q"?

Does Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (constant allele frequencies) apply to
conjugation?

Just place the "q" between the the "p +" and the "= 1". That should do
it.

Not "a" continuum. THE Continuum, specifically the Q Continuum, from
Star Trek.

I always thought the characters on Star Trek were too real to have been
made up. So now I discover that it was some of them who started life
here on earth. So Dr. Dr. was right all along!

All I had to do was ask, and it was revealed unto me !!

That was the polite answer. Asking where to put things is an open
invitation.

Except we are not dealing with the simple-minded binary distinction between
"mutant-of-interest" and "not-mutant-of-interest". We are dealing with
the more complex problem where we have mutation to any of 4 possible
bases, only one of which produces the "mutant-of-interest". That is not
a binary distinction because there are 4 possible alleles to consider. ;-)

Except for the minor nitpick that bacterial genetics is called
non-Mendelian for a reason.

And neither is the genetics of viruses or cancer. Details, details, details.

Well, it has escaped *some* people's notice.

I have already presented more details with more mathematical rigor
than has yet been demonstrated by the double degreed party in
question. I have also demonstrated the application of the law of
multiplication of probabilities which, by a simple extension,
demonstrates that reptiles can turn into birds through mutation and
selection, not to mention a few other little processes. The
application to bacterial genetics is left as an exercise for the
student. An alert student will no doubt have already noticed an
abundance of such applications and derivations in this news group.
