To find the total number of allele copies in a population, we need to know the number of individuals in that population. Since each individual has two alleles (one from each parent), the total number of allele copies can be calculated using the formula:
Total number of allele copies = Number of individuals * 2
For example, if the population consists of 100 individuals, the total number of allele copies would b
100 individuals} * 2 = 200 allele copies
It's hard to say the exact allele number of a population if the number hasn't been outlined. Hopefully this helps!
