Genome Error Rate Calulation For Mutation

Question

[abuzarhamza]

There is machine that has to include nucleotide mutation rate 0.1 % of genome size 3*10e9 But due to some error machine is causing mutation rate 1% and when error was rectified mutation rate became .01%.

Which is more errnous in comparison to original mutation rate 0.1 % for genome size 3*10e9 ?

This sounds like a homework question. If it is, then pasting your assignment here is not the way to get help. If it is not homework, please explain why you're trying to figure this out and we may be able to provide assistance.

@chris Miller : I and my friend was having discussion over it and according to as to me, error rate will be less significant for .01% as per the calculation to 1% machine ((mutation caused by error pron machine - mutation caused by original machine)/ mutation caused by original machine)*100
