mutations/10^9 basepairs per generation,? how many total mutations will there be in a bacterial culture when it reaches a population of 10^9 cells? The genome of this bacterium is 5X10^6.

This is a question that will be on my exam in a few days. The textbook lacked any information on how to do this, and my professor's explanation just confused me even more, so any help would be deeply appreciated.
