Mutations are added to a gene pool when a mutation (completely random) occurs in a person. They will pass this gene on to their offspring (and so on, and so forth).

What can lead to the development of new mutations in the gene pool?

do it own your own ;p


How mutation can change the gene pool?

If a mutation is present in a gamete, then the mutation will enter the population's gene pool. Once it is in the gene pool, natural selection and genetic drift will influence the frequency that the mutation appears in the population.


What does not add new allies to a population gene pool?

Mutations that occur in individual members of a population do not add new allies to a population gene pool. Instead, new allies can be introduced through processes like gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection.


What change in genes or chromosomes that causes a new trait to be inherited?

Mutations create variation in the gene pool by causing new traits to appear


Are mutations the only way to add new genes to a gene pool?

No, mutations are not the only way to add new genes to a gene pool. Gene flow, which involves the movement of genes between populations, can also introduce new genetic variation. Additionally, genetic recombination during sexual reproduction can shuffle existing genes to create new combinations.


How do new traits arise to create genetic variability?

Random mutations of DNA happen and these get inserted into the gene pool as the species breed.


Does gene flow spread advantageous mutations?

Yes, gene flow can spread advantageous mutations by introducing them into new populations. This can help increase genetic diversity and lead to adaptation to changing environments. However, if the advantageous mutation is already present in the recipient population, gene flow may not have a significant impact on spreading it.


Explain how different factors can affect a population's gene pool?

If someone from outside of your gene pool were to have a child inside of your population, it could possibly affect the gene pool of your population. If someone from Alaska had a child in Mississippi it would affect the gene pool of Mississippi.

What is the source of genetic variation?

Genetic variation arises from mutations, genetic recombination during meiosis, and gene flow between populations. Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence, while genetic recombination mixes genetic material from two parents during sexual reproduction. Gene flow occurs when individuals migrate between populations, introducing new alleles into a gene pool.


What type of mutation result when bases are added to gene?

Frame shift mutation occurs when a new codon in inserted. Point mutations occurs when one base, sometimes two, are inserted.
