Your question makes little sense. The allele for cytochrome C is in all human gene pools regardless of population variance. So is the allele for melanin, which has to do with skin tone. ( among other things ) Allele are just different molecular forms of the same gene. These are distributed through out human populations and some populations have a greater frequency of particular alleles. Remember, humans are a '' small '' species genetically, so even with covariance among populations, it would be difficult to find a '' black '' allele. Think sickle cell trait and see how many different types of humans posses this trait.

What combined alleles of all the individuals in a population called?

We call these genes the genome.


What is each member of a gene pool called?

Each member of a gene pool is called an individual or an organism. The gene pool consists of all the different alleles in a population, which are variations of a gene that may occupy a specific location on a chromosome.


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.


Explain why a single organism cannot have one of every allele from its gene pool?

A single organism cannot have one of every allele from its gene pool because it inherits only two alleles for each gene—one from each parent. This means that while an organism can carry multiple alleles for some genes, it cannot possess all possible alleles that exist within a population's gene pool. Additionally, due to genetic recombination and the vast diversity of alleles in a population, the total number of alleles far exceeds what any single organism can contain.


Why would defective recessive alleles be retained in the gene pool?

Defective recessive alleles can be retained in the gene pool because they may not affect individuals who are carriers of the allele (heterozygotes). Additionally, in small populations, genetic drift can lead to the retention of defective alleles. Finally, if the defective allele provides a selective advantage in certain environmental conditions, it may persist in the population.

How many alleles are usually in the gene pool for each trait?

Each gene has a dominate and recessive allele, so there are two types of alleles in each gene. The dominate allele is stronger than the recessive allele unless there are two recessive alleles.

Does a gene pool typically contain one allele for each inheritable trait?

you would have many alleles for a single trait in a gene pool. The variety would depend on the members of the pool. If you live in a small isolated area, there would be fewer alleles than if you lived in New York City for example.


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
