Question

Which mechanism(s) are responsible for introducing new alleles into a population's gene pool?

A) gene flow
B) emigration
C) niche shift
D) natural selection

Answer 1

Answer: The right answer is -

A) Gene flow

Step-by-step explanation:

Gene flow is a process of gene migration or the transfer of gene variant (also called allele, which is responsible for genetic variation in population) from one population to another population.

As a consequence of gene migration, new alleles are introduced or added in the already existing population, thereby increasing genetic diversity.

Thus, option A) is the right answer.
