Detailed explanation-1: -Augmenting gene flow, hereafter referred to as ‘gene-pool mixing’, encompasses management interventions intended to increase genetic diversity, including for promoting genetic-and evolutionary rescue.

Detailed explanation-2: -When individuals from different groups interbreed, their offspring’s DNA becomes a mixture of the DNA from each admixing group. Pieces of this DNA are then passed along through subsequent generations, carrying on all the way to the present day.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. A gene pool refers to the combination of all the genes (including alleles) present in a reproducing population or species. A large gene pool has extensive genomic diversity and is better able to withstand environmental challenges.

Detailed explanation-4: -gene flow, also called gene migration, the introduction of genetic material (by interbreeding) from one population of a species to another, thereby changing the composition of the gene pool of the receiving population.
