Gene Shuffling-one of the two main sources of genetic variation(other is mutations)
Gene Shuffling happens at the gametes/sex cells formation when the chromosomes line up in the middle at random during meiosis. So that means the 23 pairs of chromosomes we have can produce 8.4 million different combinations of genes.
Think of it as to playing cards. Each card represents an allele/trait. When you shuffle the cards, it leads to many different hands(Poker) you can obtain.
I hope my horrible explanation helps.

What are the two types of gene shuffling?
Gene shuffling means the genetic recombination and mutations of a gene pool of a species where genetic recombination is the mixture of parent alleles that are passed on and the mutations are the random changes in an organisms DNA that are passed on.
Biological fitness is the ability of the individual to?
contribute to the gene pool of the next generation.
Why do you think gene pool diversity is important?
if a gene pool is restricted hereditary faults can be emphasized
What is meant by the term human gene pool?
Biodiversity refers to the large number or variety of plants and animals in an ecosystem. A gene pool is the complete set of unique alleles in a species or population. So, when there is diversity in the gene pool, there is difference in the characteristics of species.
When did Out of the Gene Pool end?
Out of the Gene Pool ended in 2008.
What is the definition of gene shuffling?
Gene shuffling is the process of recombining the starting pool of sequences to generate new gene-sequences that subsequently can be screened for particular desired characteristics.

What is the movement of genes into and out of a a gene pool called?
A gene getting on the pool. A gene getting off the pool.
When did Out of the Gene Pool end?
Out of the Gene Pool ended in 2008.
How does interbreeding affect the alleles in a population?
It enhances the possibilty of certain alleles because there is less variety in the gene pool.
How is a gene pool like a pool of gene?
A gene pool is the total number of genes of every individual in an interbreeding population. Which is like having every single gene of a population into one big pool (population).
The combined alleles of all the individuals in a population is what?
The entire collection of genes among a population is called the "gene pool".
What is a small gene pool?
a small pool of genes when a short guy named gene owns a pool
When was Gene Pool born?
Gene Pool was born on August 17, 1951.
