All insect has three main body parts. The head is the part of the insect that contains the brain and the two compound eyes. The two antennae are attached to the head. The thorax is the body section between the head and the abdomen. This section operates the wings and legs. The legs attach to the thorax.
The collection of all the genes and the various alternate or allelic forms of those genes within a population is called its gene pool. Genetic variation within a population is measured according to the number of different alleles of all genes and the frequency with which they appear. Variation is high when there are many different allelic forms of all genes and when there are many different combinations of those alleles.
Allele. Definition. noun, plural: alleles. (genetics). One member of a pair (or any of the series) of genes occupying a specific spot on a chromosome (called locus) that controls the same trait. Supplement.For example, a pair of alleles controlling the same trait, i.e. eye color: one allele codes for blue eyes, another allele for brown eyes.In humans, simple traits such as eye color may be caused by the interaction of only one pair of alleles.or example, a pair of alleles controlling the same trait, i.e. eye color: one allele codes for blue eyes, another allele for brown eyes.
