Question
identifying the gene pool
in guinea pigs, fur length is controlled by one
the sum of the genetic traits in this population is
called its
retry
x allele
gene pool
gene. the f allele generates long fur and the f
allele generates short fur. because only one f
copy is needed to show the trait, if a guinea pig
has the ff or ff allele combination, they will have
long fur. if they have the ff allele combination, they
will have short fur.
look at the data for a guinea pig population to
answer the following questions.
guinea pig 1: long fur (ff)
guinea pig 2: short fur (ff)
guinea pig 3: long fur (ff)
guinea pig 4: long fur (ff)
The gene pool is defined as the sum of all the genetic traits (alleles) in a population. A genotype refers to the specific genetic makeup (e.g., FF, Ff, ff) of an individual. An allele is a variant form of a gene (e.g., F or f). Since the question asks for the sum of genetic traits in the population, the correct term is gene pool.
