Gene Flow and Genetic Drift
And another possible answer could be breeding/mating
genetic variation
We call these genes the genome.
The total collection of genes in the reproductively active individuals within a population is known as the gene pool. This gene pool represents the genetic diversity of the population and plays a crucial role in determining the population's ability to adapt to changing environments and evolve over time. Genetic variation within the gene pool is essential for the long-term survival and health of a population.
Recessive genes are kept in the gene pool through carriers who may not exhibit the trait themselves but can pass it on to their offspring. These carriers contribute to genetic diversity in the population, ensuring that recessive traits are preserved even when not expressed.
One can find good information about the gene pool and about genes generally on Wikipedia. This gives a lot of information and links in to other articles on related subjects.
gene pool
The entire collection of genes among a population is called the "gene pool".
The collection of all the genes in a population is called the gene pool. This gene pool contains all of the genetic variation within a population, which can be passed on to future generations through reproduction.
gene flow
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.
genetic variation
We call these genes the genome.
genetic drift
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.
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).
