Answer:

Population genetics

Step-by-step explanation:

Population genetics refers to the study of distribution of genetic traits and the allelic changes occurring in a population that is variations in the alleles and genotypes.

A population that is freely interbreeding has a collection of genes and alleles called a gene pool of the specific population.

Each member will receives alleles from the gene pool( from its parent) and passes it to other members (offspring)
