Genetic variation is stored in a population's gene poolâthe combined alleles of all of the individuals in a population. allele frequency An allele frequency is a measure of how common a certain allele is in the population.
Genetic diversity is the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species. It is distinguished from genetic variability, which describes the tendency of genetic characteristics to vary.Genetic diversity serves as a way for populations to adapt to changing environments.With more variation, it is more likely that some individuals in a population will possess variations of alleles that are suited for the environment. Those individuals are more likely to survive to produce offspring bearing that allele.iversifying selection is the hypothesis that two subpopulations of a species live in different environments that select for different alleles at a particular locus. This may occur, for instance, if a species has a large range relative to the mobility of individuals within it.
