  Gene pool: Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders
Each gene pool accounts for all of the alleles for all of the traits of the members of a population.
The gene frequency of an allele is equal to the number of times the allele occurs compared to the total number of alleles for that trait.
Even though the corresponding gene on the other chromosome in the pair may be the non-disease-causing allele, having one disease-causing allele is enough to cause the disorder to be present.

 Gene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The genes of eukaryotic organisms often contain non-coding regions called introns whose transcripts are removed from the messenger RNA in a process known as splicing.
Genes that encode proteins are composed of a series of three-nucleotide sequences called codons, which serve as the "words" in the genetic "language".
The total complement of genes in an organism or cell is known as its genome, which may be stored on one or more chromosomes; the region of the chromosome at which a particular gene is located is called its locus.
