Answer:

Option C: Gene flow

Explanation:

Gene flow is the transfer of genetic variation from one population to another. It is the movement of genes from one population to another population. If the rate of gene flow is high enough, then two populations are considered to have equivalent allele frequencies.

Sometimes gene pools within populations can change because individuals leave that population or new individuals come in. Like water flowing in a river, genes can also 'flow' from one place to another.

For example:

  • A honey bee carrying pollen from one flower population to another.
  • A caribou from one herd mating with members of another herd
  • A blonde haired, blue-eyed family from Sweden moves to some Asian country where the children grow up, marry and produce offspring who now have the blonde-haired, blue-eyed alleles.
