a. The ratio of probabilities that a given site is altered through recombination and mutation, representing a measure of how important the effect of recombination is in the diversification of the sample relative to mutation.
b. The ratio of rates at which recombination and mutation occur, representing a measure of how often recombination events happen relative to mutations.
