  All genes and alleles
• An individual's genetic makeup includes all alleles present in the gene pool.

  False
• What does the gene pool for feather color in birds include?

  All alleles for feather color
• Steps in understanding the importance of a gene pool in population genetics

  1️⃣ Tracks allele frequencies

  2️⃣ Reveals genetic diversity

  3️⃣ Influences evolutionary changes

  4️⃣ Guides adaptation and speciation
• Match the concept with its description:

  Gene Pool ↔️ Total genetic information

  Allele Frequency ↔️ Proportion of each allele

  Genetic Diversity ↔️ Variety of genes and alleles
• What does high genetic diversity in a population of flowers ensure?

  Population survival
