Definition: Gene flow is the transfer of genetic material (alleles) between separate populations through movement of individuals or their gametes.

Examples:
1) Pollen carried by bees from one wildflower population to another introduces new alleles into the recipient population.
2) Wolves migrating into a neighboring pack and breeding increases genetic mixing between the packs.

Usage sentence: Gene flow between the island and mainland mouse populations reduced their genetic differences.
