(January 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) The
gene pool is the set of all
genes, or genetic information, in any
population, usually of a particular
species.

Description
A large gene pool indicates extensive
genetic diversity, which is associated with robust populations that can survive bouts of intense
selection. Meanwhile, low
genetic diversity (see
inbreeding and
population bottlenecks) can cause reduced
biological fitness and an increased chance of
extinction, although as explained by
genetic drift new genetic variants, that may cause an increase in the
fitness of organisms, are more likely to fix in the population if it is rather small.
When all individuals in a population are identical with regard to a particular
phenotypic trait, the population is said to be
monomorphic. When the individuals show several variants of a particular trait they are said to be
polymorphic.

BTW: CJOHNNY54 family is the most diverse gene pool - oldest look like his dad, cjohnny54 some say he eat like a pig(johnny BRAVO), younger brother who some think lack food is taller and whiter, one sister is little darker , the youngest small
