Front

What is the function of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, responsible for producing energy through cellular respiration.

Front

What is gene flow?

Back

Gene flow is the transfer of genetic material between populations, which can increase genetic diversity.

Front

What is a gene pool?

Back

A gene pool is the total collection of genes and their variants in a population.
