Gene Pool Total aggregate of genes in a population at any one time Consists of all alleles at all gene loci in all individuals of a population and alleles from this pool will be combined to produce the next generation In diploid species, an indivudal may be homozygous or heterozygous for a locus Allele is said to be fixed in gene pool if all members of population are homozygous for the allele Frequencies of alleles in gene pool will remain constant unless acted upon by other agents (Hardy-Weinberg theorem) ?
