    is called its gene pool and consists of all of the alleles present in the population members for all of the genes found in that species. Evolutionary change occurs when there is a measurable change in the population’s genotype through time. Alleles are alternative versions of gene. An allele is said to be lethal if it directly causes death of the organism. A lethal recessive allele must be inherited from both parents to cause death; offspring must have two such (homozygous) recessive
