Question

Is gene pool static?

Answer 1

Gene pool:

1. The gene pool is always changing.
2. It may grow or shrink in size as a result of external or internal factors.
3. The gene pool can grow by adding genes to the gene pool through processes such as mutation, immigration, and so on, or shrink by removing genes from the gene pool through mechanisms such as genetic drift, natural selection, and so on.
4. Evolutionary change occurs when a population's gene pool changes consistently from generation to generation.
5. A gene pool that is more or less stagnant will not produce evolutionary change.
