Answer

  1. Gene flow

Explanation:

Gene flow is the transfer of alleles from one population to another population due to the migration of individuals or gametes.

This variable flow of individuals in and out of the group not only changes the gene structure of the population but can also introduce new genetic variation to populations in different geological locations and habitats.
