Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A species is a group of organisms that can interbreed among themselves but cannot interbreed with different species. This ensures that the genes are kept within the species and not mixed with other populations. A gene pool refers to the total genetic information available in a population. A race and hybrid stock are not scientific terms related to population genetics.
