Question

Define the following terms
1. Gene pool
2. Gene flow
3. Genetic load
4. Gene frequency​

Answer 1

1. Gene pool:- A gene pool is the total of genes in reproductive gametes of a population.

2. Gene-flow:- In this, migration of the gene by cross Fertilization from one population to another population is done.

3. Genetic load:- The existance within the population of disadvantegeous allele in heterozygous genotype is known as genetic load

4. Gene frequency:- It is defined as the propotion of different different alleles of a gene in a population is known as gene frequency.

Answer 2

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

Gene flow -- In population genetics, gene flow (also known as gene migration or allele flow) is the transfer of genetic variation from one population to another. If the rate of gene flow is high enough, then two populations are considered to have equivalent allele frequencies and therefore effectively be a single population..

Genetic load -- Genetic load is the difference between the fitness of an average genotype in a population and the fitness of some reference genotype, which may be either the best present in a population, or may be the theoretically optimal genotype..

Gene frequency -- Allele frequency, or gene frequency, is the relative frequency of an allele (variant of a gene) at a particular locus in a population, expressed as a fraction or percentage. Specifically, it is the fraction of all chromosomes in the population that carry that allele.
