Gene Flow and Clines
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Gene flow is the movement of alleles between populations through migrants or gametes; a cline is gradual variation across an ecological gradient.
Show
Pollen carried by wind between plant populations is gene flow; a species growing larger toward the poles shows a latitudinal cline.
Watch for
Ongoing gene flow keeps a cline's variation gradual; restricted flow sharpens differences along it and can eventually drive speciation.
