The calculation is simply to see if it is reasonable to believe that point mutations could add a new functional sequence. It is essentially that you have around 100 amino acids in a typical protein. Each amino acid comes from 3 bases. Each base has a 1 in 4 chance of being the one that yields the appropriate amino acid to try to make a functional protein. These have to all happen in a sequence with no (or very few) misses. 300^1/4 is an oversimplification of the calculation I have tried to do. There are other variables but this
I'd like to to hear a biologist respond to this, but what is your point here? That it cannot lead to new additional genes because it would replace an old one? But there are not just point mutations, so what is your point?
What do you mean by becoming the *correct* base? Correct for what?
Which calculation exactly?
Are you seriously trying to say that there is exactly one unique sequence of bases that makes a functional protein?
That's silly.
