Gene flow within a population distributes mutations among the individuals. Immigration and emigration transport alleles into and out of a population's gene pool, thus affecting the result of natural selection.

Explain how different factors can affect a population's gene pool?

If someone from outside of your gene pool were to have a child inside of your population, it could possibly affect the gene pool of your population. If someone from Alaska had a child in Mississippi it would affect the gene pool of Mississippi.


What does inbreeding reinforce if there is no gene flow?

Inbreeding reinforces the expression of both deleterious and advantageous traits within a population. Without gene flow, inbreeding increases the chances of passing on harmful recessive alleles and reducing genetic diversity. This can lead to a higher risk of genetic disorders and lower overall fitness in the population.


Does gene flow add new alleles to a population gene pool?

Yes, gene flow can introduce new alleles to a population's gene pool when individuals from one population migrate and breed with individuals from another population. This exchange of genetic material can increase genetic diversity and alter allele frequencies within the recipient population. Consequently, gene flow plays a significant role in evolution by promoting variation and adaptability.
