A gene pool is the set of all genes, or genetic information, in any population, usually of a particular species.

Thus the actively interbreeding population of a species is a genetic pool comprising the genes for that species. Should something happen that would separate the breeding population into two populations where the populations could not longer mingle to interbreed, there would now be two genetic pools.

The combined genetic information of all members of a particular population is the population's gene pool. This gene pool contains all of the genetic variations that exist within the population, which can influence the population's ability to adapt to environmental changes and evolve over time.

What makes up a gene pool of a population?

A gene pool of a population is made up of all the different alleles (versions of a gene) present in the individuals that make up the population. It represents the genetic diversity within a population. The more diverse the gene pool, the greater the genetic variability within the population.


What is a small gene pool?

A small gene pool refers to a limited set of genetic variations within a population, which can increase the risk of genetic disorders or reduce the population's ability to adapt to changing environments. It can occur in isolated or inbred populations where individuals are more likely to share similar genetic traits.
