Definition: The gene pool is all the different genes and their versions (alleles) that exist in a population.
Examples:
- A wild rabbit population's gene pool includes alleles for fur color (white, brown, gray) and disease resistance.
- The varieties of corn on a farm form a gene pool with genes for plant height, kernel color, and drought tolerance.
Sentence using it: The gene pool changed after a drought because only plants with drought-tolerant genes survived.
