geenipool

Geenipool is a non-standard term that appears in some informal writings as an alternative spelling of gene pool. In population genetics, the gene pool refers to the total collection of genes and their alleles present in a breeding population, forming the reservoir of genetic variation on which evolutionary forces act.

Because geenipool is not widely used in peer-reviewed literature, many references treat it as a misspelling or a nonstandard variant of gene pool rather than as a distinct concept. When encountered, it is advisable to consult the context to determine whether the author intends the standard concept of a gene pool or if the term is being used illustratively.

The core concepts associated with a gene pool include allele frequencies, genetic drift, natural selection, mutation, and migration; these factors together determine genetic diversity, adaptability, and the evolutionary trajectories of populations.
