Difference between Gene pool and Population genetics

Gene pool vs. Population genetics

The gene pool is the set of all genes, or genetic information, in any population, usually of a particular species. Population genetics is a subfield of genetics that deals with genetic differences within and between populations, and is a part of evolutionary biology.

Similarities between Gene pool and Population genetics

Gene pool and Population genetics have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Fitness (biology), Gene flow, Genetic diversity, Genetic drift, Horizontal gene transfer, Hybrid (biology), Inbreeding, Natural selection, Phenotype, Polymorphism (biology), Population, Population bottleneck, Theodosius Dobzhansky.

Fitness (biology)

Fitness (often denoted w or ω in population genetics models) is the quantitative representation of natural and sexual selection within evolutionary biology.

Gene flow

In population genetics, gene flow (also known as gene migration or allele flow) is the transfer of genetic variation from one population to another.

Genetic diversity

Genetic diversity is the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species.

Genetic drift

Genetic drift (also known as allelic drift or the Sewall Wright effect) is the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant (allele) in a population due to random sampling of organisms.

Horizontal gene transfer

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) or lateral gene transfer (LGT) is the movement of genetic material between unicellular and/or multicellular organisms other than by the ("vertical") transmission of DNA from parent to offspring.

Hybrid (biology)

In biology, a hybrid, or crossbreed, is the result of combining the qualities of two organisms of different breeds, varieties, species or genera through sexual reproduction.

Inbreeding

Inbreeding is the production of offspring from the mating or breeding of individuals or organisms that are closely related genetically.

Natural selection

Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype.

Phenotype

A phenotype is the composite of an organism's observable characteristics or traits, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, behavior, and products of behavior (such as a bird's nest).

Polymorphism (biology)

Polymorphism in biology and zoology is the occurrence of two or more clearly different morphs or forms, also referred to as alternative phenotypes, in the population of a species.

Population

In biology, a population is all the organisms of the same group or species, which live in a particular geographical area, and have the capability of interbreeding.

Population bottleneck

A population bottleneck or genetic bottleneck is a sharp reduction in the size of a population due to environmental events (such as earthquakes, floods, fires, disease, or droughts) or human activities (such as genocide).

Theodosius Dobzhansky

Theodosius Grygorovych Dobzhansky (Теодо́сій Григо́рович Добжа́нський; Феодо́сий Григо́рьевич Добржа́нский; January 25, 1900 – December 18, 1975) was a prominent Ukrainian-American geneticist and evolutionary biologist, and a central figure in the field of evolutionary biology for his work in shaping the modern synthesis.

Gene pool and Population genetics Comparison

Gene pool has 25 relations, while Population genetics has 174. As they have in common 13, the Jaccard index is 6.53% = 13 / (25 + 174).
