yes.

independent assortment and crossing over in mitosis will add new combinations of alleles to the DNA but only mutations will create new genes.

Does a gene pool include the genes of individuals that cannot reproduce?

No, a gene pool consists of all the different alleles and variations of genes within a population of interbreeding individuals. Individuals that cannot reproduce, such as sterile individuals, do not contribute to the gene pool as they do not pass on their genes to the next generation.

We call these genes the genome.


What is the movement of genes into and out of a a gene pool called?

The movement of genes into and out of a gene pool is called gene flow. Gene flow occurs when individuals migrate between populations, bringing new genetic variation into a population, or when genetic material is transferred through reproduction between populations.


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).
