Do all members of a species have the same number of unique genes? I know that each gene is responsible for one or many traits in a species. Is it possible for one member to have a wholly unique gene that is not found in other members or does that imply that the member actually belongs to a different species.

Lets say member 1 in a species has the following UNIQUE genes: A,B,C,D

Is it possible for member 2 to have the following UNIQUE genes: A,B,C,D,E.

I have been told that all members of a species have the same total number of UNIQUE genes. For the case above, either 4 genes or 5 genes. I do not know if this is true.

When i say unique, i am not taling about alleles or damaged genes. I mean a gene that is totally not found in the chromosome of the other member. Would this imply that member 2 has a wholly new trait that is not found in member 1 and therefore, member 2 actually is of a different species from member 1?

Thanks

My van rental is $532.69 for 7 days. 6 of us are paying for 7 days use and 1 is paying for 5 days use since he came later on our trip. I can split the cost evenly between the 7 people but I don't want to over charge my friend who wasn't there for the first two days. Is there a formula I can use? I just want to be fair. Thanks for your help everyone.

We have seen hot air balloons go as high as the edge of space, so why not use them to carry up the giant sailing ships. Then release the ballon when no longer needed?

With a shortage of the flu vaccine last year I came up with an idea:

There is a new flu vaccine every year because the influenza virus evolves every year to be resistant to last years vaccine. This means that if you don't believe in evolution, you don't believe there is a need for a new vaccine every year. There should be a statement you have to sign in order to get the vaccine basically stating you accept evolution as scientific fact and that is why you would like a vaccine. I know a lot of people who would refuse to sign something like that. So wouldn't that keep us from having a shortage?

I have a project on Physics which is either make a telescope or a microscope. Does anyone know any site where they tell you how to? We can do reports on it. I hate doing reports. One reason is cause I am not the 'CREATIVE' person. Or we can do a poem. So if you guys know a weird, wacky, FUNNY poem on either telescopes or microscopes, PLEASE do be co-operative. I promise the finder or giver of the best answer, 10 points! ♥
