Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene flow is the physical movement of alleles between populations, either through migration of individuals or through the movement of gametes (such as pollen or sperm). This can result in new traits being introduced into a population or can change the frequency of existing alleles within the population. Natural selection, genetic drift, inheritance, and mutations are all important concepts in genetics and evolution, but they do not directly refer to the physical movement of alleles between populations.
