A gene pool consists of all the genes, and their different alleles, present in an interbreeding population
The gene pool: All the genetic information present in the reproducing members of
a population at a given time. A large gene pool occurs in a population that shows considerable variety in its traits, whereas a small gene pool occurs in a population whose members show little variation, due to inbreeding.
Inbreeding: Is the practice of closely related organisms mate with one another.
Allele frequency: Is a measure of the amount of a specific variation of a gene in a population. It is usually expressed as a proportion or percentage.
