The Infinite Alleles Model (IAM) is a concept in population genetics that describes the genetic variation within a population. It assumes that a gene locus can have an infinite number of possible alleles. According to this model, every mutation creates a new allele that has never been seen before in the population, thus leading to an ever-expanding pool of genetic diversity.
