Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene flow refers to the exchange of genes between two populations. As a result of gene flow, the two populations become more similar in their gene pools. This is because the exchange of genes reduces the genetic differences between the populations. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Options B, C, D, and E are not correct because they suggest that the populations will become isolated or separate, whereas gene flow implies the opposite.
