Antibiotics are effective against a population of bacteria. However, you observe a new resistance allele arises in the bacteria population. You observe the fitness of the mutant is 1% higher than the wild type and the population size (N) of the bacteria is 106.
How long does it take for the resistance allele to reach fixation? Hint: The fixation time is defined as the time from a single copy of the resistance allele (1/N) to near fixation (1 - 1/N).
