The Gene Pool and Reproductive Isolation

Video not yet published
to the StudyWalks catalog
State

A gene pool is the complete collection of alleles across a species' interbreeding population; reproductive isolation prevents alleles from crossing between two gene pools.

Show

Alleles flow freely within one population's gene pool but cannot cross into a reproductively isolated population's separate gene pool.

Watch for

Reproductive isolation, not physical distance alone, defines two populations as no longer sharing one gene pool.
