Genome is the entirety of an organism's hereditary information. It is either encoded in DNA or for many viruses, in RNA.

The gene pool for a particular gene is?

a gene pool is the mixture of a group of a species' genes. like, if you took all of the DNA of a group of people, and mixed it all together, that would be a gene poolThe total of all alleles present in a population.All of the alleles in one population


What makes up a gene pool of a population?

A gene pool of a population is made up of all the different alleles (versions of a gene) present in the individuals that make up the population. It represents the genetic diversity within a population. The more diverse the gene pool, the greater the genetic variability within the population.


What cause variations in a species?

in gene pool, it comes from a random mutation


A genetic change which can effect a species fitness?

evolution within a species. the allele frequencies in a gene pool of a population


What are major gene pool center?

Major gene pool centers are geographic regions where a wide diversity of plant and animal species can be found. These regions are important for maintaining genetic diversity and are valuable for conservation efforts. Examples include the Amazon rainforest in South America and the Indo-Burma region in Southeast Asia.


Why species with a diverse gene pool are usually less threatened by environmental change than are species whose members all have similar genes?

A species with a diverse gene pool are less threatened by environmental change because at least one form of the species would probably be able to adapt better than another form which would probably die out. while a species without a diverse gene pool could possibly die out if it was unable to adapt to the environmental change.


What is meant by fitness in Darwinian evoultion?

Darwinian fitness measures the reproductive success of a species. This measures how much of a contribution a specific individual contributes to their species' gene pool, and whether certain gene mutations within an individual will or will not have an overall effect on the gene pool of a species as a whole.


How does having a diverse gene pool help a specie survive?

Species that lack a diverse gene pool are less able to adapt to changes in the environment and are less able to survive diseases.


What do gene pools contain?

A gene pool is the set of all genes, or genetic information, in any population, usually of a particular species.


What must occur within a gene pool before formation of a new species?

What is meant by the term human gene pool?

Biodiversity refers to the large number or variety of plants and animals in an ecosystem. A gene pool is the complete set of unique alleles in a species or population. So, when there is diversity in the gene pool, there is difference in the characteristics of species.
