Question

If the nucleotide variability of a locus equals 0%, what is the gene variability and number of alleles at that locus?
A) gene variability = 0%; number of alleles = 0
B) gene variability = 0%; number of alleles = 1
C) gene variability = 0%; number of alleles = 2
D) gene variability > 0%; number of alleles  = 2

Gene variability at a locus with 0% nucleotide variability would also be 0% because there is no variation in the genetic sequence at that locus. The number of alleles would be 1, indicating that only one type of allele exists at that locus in the population.
