<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>:&#039;&#039;For the guitarist named &#039;&#039;&#039;Gene Pool&#039;&#039;&#039;, see [[Greg Flesch]].&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> In [[population genetics]], a &#039;&#039;&#039;gene pool&#039;&#039;&#039; is the complete set of unique [[allele]]s in a [[species]] or [[population]]. A large gene pool indicates extensive [[genetic diversity]], which is associated with robust populations that can survive bouts of intense [[selection]]. Meanwhile, low genetic diversity (see [[inbreeding]] and [[population bottleneck]]s) can cause reduced [[fitness (biology)|biological fitness]] and an increased chance of [[extinction]]. <br /> <br /> When many alleles exist for a given gene or [[locus (genetics)|locus]], a population is said to be [[polymorphism (biology)|polymorphic]] with respect to that gene or locus. When no variation exists, it is labelled monomorphic.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Biodiversity]]<br /> * [[Conservation biology]]<br /> * [[Founder effect]]<br /> * [[Genetic drift]]<br /> * [[Population genetics]]<br /> * [[Small population size]]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Ecology]]<br /> [[Category:Conservation]]<br /> [[Category:Selection]]<br /> [[Category:Classical genetics]]<br /> [[Category:Population genetics]]<br /> [[Category:Evolutionary biology]]</div>
