Gene Flow

Gene flow occurs when there is migration.​

 

There are two ways this phenomenon takes place.               
              1. Immigration: Migration of people                                                          coming from one place to
                                            another which was not 
                                            the original homeland
           
              2. Emigration: Migration of people leaving 
                                         from one region
 

The loss or addition of people can easily change gene pool frequencies even if there are no other revolutionary mechanisms operating
