A process of evolution that involves the exchange of genes among populations through interbreeding.
Helpful?           0
The incorporation of genes from one organism into the complement of genes in another population of organisms
Helpful?           0
The movement of alleles from one population into another.
Helpful?           0
The transfer of genes from one population to another of the same species, as by migration or the dispersal of seeds and pollen.
Helpful?           0
The consequence of cross-fertilization between members of a species across boundaries between populations, or within populations, which results in the spread of genes across and between populations.
Helpful?           0
a mechanism of evolution that results when individuals migrate from one group to another and contribute their genes to the gene pool of the new population.
Helpful?           0
the exchange of genes between populations resulting from migration of individuals or dispersal of gametes.
Helpful?           0
the movement of genes through or between populations as the result of out-crossing and natural selection
Helpful?           0
Genetic exchange between populations resulting from the dispersal of gametes, zygotes or individuals.
Helpful?           0
The movement of genes among populations of a species. Depending on the organism, genes are carried by pollen, spores, seeds, sperm, eggs, and whole larval, juvenile, and adult organisms.
Helpful?           0
The movement of genes, within a population or between populations, through mating.
Helpful?           0
The exchange of genes between different species (an extreme case referred to as hybridization) or between different populations of the same species caused by migration following breeding.
Helpful?           0
(geen flo). The gain or loss of alleles from a population due to immigration or immigration of fertile individuals, or the transfer of gametes, between populations.
Helpful?           0
The exchange of genetic factors within and between populations by interbreeding or migration.
Helpful?           0
Movement of genes between populations, which can lead to changes in the genetic composition of local populations.
Helpful?           0
Transfer of genes from one population of plants to another, through either pollen drift or seed mixing.
Helpful?           0
the natural transfer of genes from one population into the genetic makeup of another population through interbreeding and migration
Helpful?           0
A term used to describe differences in allele frequencies between populations which reflect migration or contact between them.
Helpful?           0
Français] The movement of genes among various populations of a species.
Helpful?           0
1. the proportion of alleles in a population each generation that is of migrant origin, 2. the transfer of genetic material between populations resulting from movements of individuals or their gametes. Usually expressed as a migration rate 'm'.
Helpful?           0
the spread of genes from one breeding population to another by interbreeding (requires some survival of hybrid individuals).
Helpful?           0
The transfer of genes via pollen to or from a cultivated crop to other crop plants, wild relatives, other plant species or other organisms.
Helpful?           0
The rate of entry of non-native genes into a population, measured as the proportion of the alleles at a locus in a generation that originated from outside of the population. Can be thought of as the genetically successful stray rate into a population. See also stray rate and homing rate.
Helpful?           0
The exchange of genetic traits between populations by movement of individuals, gametes, or spores. It involves the spread of new variants among different populations through dispersal.
Helpful?           0
gradual exchange of genetic material between populations caused by the dispersal of gametes or the migration of individuals
Helpful?           0
The movement of genes from different populations of species.
Helpful?           0
Flow of genetic information within and between species.
Helpful?           0
the flow of genes from one population to another.
Helpful?           0
The transfer of genetic material by interbreeding from one population of a species to another population (same or related species), thereby changing the composition of the gene pool of the receiving population (Canadian Food Inspection Agency, October 29, 2004 [online]).
Helpful?           0
(also known as gene migration) is the natural transfer of genes from one population to another. Gene flow into or out of a population may be responsible for a marked decrease or increase of the number of members of a population with a particular trait.
Helpful?           0
Exchange of genes between different but (usually) related populations
Helpful?           0
refers to the exchange of heritable traits in a population of organisms. Lack or low gene flow is considered detrimental because it does not yield a great amount of variability (gene pool) from which the population can use to overcome changing environmental conditions.
Helpful?           0
the introduction of new genes into regional populations
Helpful?           0
the movement of genes from one population to another.
Helpful?           0
The movement of genes (strictly alleles) within and between populations.
Helpful?           0
The incorporation of genes into the gene pool of one population from one or more other populations.
Helpful?           0
The movement of genes into or through a population by interbreeding or by migration and interbreeding.
Helpful?           0
Gene flow (also known as gene migration) is the transfer of alleles of genes from one population to another.
