Gene pool

Topic: Mendelian Concepts

A gene pool is a collection of all the alleles or the variants of genes in a population.

A population is a group of individuals that can all interbreed, often distinguished as a species. Because these individuals can share genes and pass on combinations of genes to the next generation, the collection of these genes is called a gene pool.
