How many alleles does a gene pool have?

Answer 1

Many possible alleles exist for a gene, but a diploid cell contains only two alleles of each gene or two copies of a single allele. Diploid refers to the number of chromosomes that a cell has.

Answer 2

Many genes have more than two possible alleles (such as in human blood groups), but remember; the individual still only has two alleles (one from mom, one from dad). Analogy: no matter how many colors of shirts available to buy in a particular style, so still only can have two (two of the same, or two different ones).

But how many colors of shirt are usually available in the store? (e.g. for blood antigens there are 3 - A, B, & O.)

Each gene has two types of alleles:Dominate allele (capital letter)Recessive allele (lower case letter)Dominate traits hide recessive traits unless there's two recessive traitslets say your mom is recessive for blue eyesand your dad is homozygous dominant for brown eyesMale is on the top of the box and Female is on the left side.

B B

b Bb Bb

b Bb Bb

you would probably have brown eyes because the capital dominant letter for brown eyes is hiding the lower case recessive allele for blue eyes

Answer 3

The number of different variants, or alleles, of a given gene, varies from gene to gene, from species to species. Not only every single gene can have different variants present in nature ( or wild type genes ), but new mutations can arise.

Answer 4

i believe there are twelve in a diploid cell and six in a haploid cell

Answer 5
