Why is the In a mass spectrum, are there peaks corresponding to a combination of C-1313C and bromine isotopes not indicated in mass spectrum graph?

I just began studying mass spectroscopy and I just seem todon't understand why certain peaks are not indictedrepresented in the mass spectrum graph. Like letslet's say you have methyl or ethyl bromide. Usually, there isare two equal molecular ion peaks at the right most-most side, which indicate 1:1a $1:1$ ratio of Br -79$\ce{^{79}Br}$ and 89$\ce{^{81}Br}$ isotopes. 

But this is only when you assume all carbon atom is C-12are $\ce{^{12}C}$. Why doesn't the graph show peaks with combination of $\ce{^{13}C}$ and bromine isotopes?

  • Why does not graph show peak with combination of C-13 and bromine isotopes?

None of the examples online indicate this.
