How can mutations change the gene pool of a population?

Explanation:

The changes in the gene pool occurs from the one generation to another this process is called as the microevolution. The allele frequencies in the gene pool change due to many processes such as gene flow, natural selection, genetic drift, and mutation. In mutation the genetic variations occurs in the genome of the organisms due to change in the genetic makeup of the organisms new traits are produced which are passed on to the new generation and this brings change in diversity of genes in the gene pool.

due to the fact that it skipped a generation we can tell it is definitely not a dominant trait, therefore it must be recessive. i think this is right let me know!

because of
