Are we done with Shannon?
As you now realize, Shannon's theory is not what they told you it is. You could perhaps answer the question about how a new mutation adds information to a population genome,according to Shannon's theory.
If we go from two alleles, each with a frequency of 0.5, to a post-mutation genome with three alleles, each eventually at a frequency of 0.3333..., what is the genome information for that gene before and after the mutation?
