* Predictions were made various ratios of mutant (
p
) and wild-type (
q
) pRNAs. Each procapsid is assumed to contain six copies of
pRNA.
N
and
M
are number of copies of wild-type and mutant pRNAs, respectively, attached to one procapsid.
M
+Ν = Z = 6;
p
+
q
= 1. (Adapted from Ref. 107, with permission from the author and the publisher, American Society for Microbiology.)
