Genetic variation is expressed in genes which form chromosomes. Thus any individual in a population of breeding animals can only 'hold' the gene variations that can fit into that individuals chromosomes, while the number of chromosomes in the population is the number found in the individual * the number of individuals comprising the population, a much greater space for 'holding' variations in genes.
