If in a population the rate of mutation that converts the A allele to the a allele is 10⁻⁶ and the current frequency of the A allele is 0.75 and the a allele is 0.25,then the frequency of the A and a alleles in the next generation will be
A) A: 0.75
A: 0.25
B) A: 0.7499993
A: 0.2500007
C) A: 0.750007
A: 0.2499993
D) A: 0.74
A: 0.26
