In comparing several populations of the same species, the population with the greatest genetic variation would have the greatest number of genes. greatest number of alleles per gene. greatest number of population members. largest gene pool.

The population with the greatest genetic variation may have:  

- The greatest number of alleles per gene

- The largest gene pool

Explanation:

A higher number of alleles will produce a higher total number of protein forms per gene. Moreover, the largest gene pool will synthesize the largest content of proteins, thereby increasing variation
