Best Answer

When genes are exchanged due to the mixing of populations, the result is gene flow. Genetic drift, along with natural selection, mutation, and migration, is one of the basic mechanisms of evolution.

Evolution. Gene flow between two populations of the same species exchanges alleles that one population does not have with another populations gene pool by interbreeding and thus changing allelic frequency in both populations gene pool, thus evolution. Much more effective in some sort of large change in smaller populations.

What keeps neighboring populations genetically similar?

Gene flow, or the transfer of genes between populations through individuals mating with individuals from another population, helps to keep neighboring populations genetically similar. This process can prevent genetic differentiation and maintain a shared gene pool within a geographic region.
