The concept of gene flow indicates that evolution of populations can occur when individuals enter or leave a population. The addition of new alleles into the population makes it easy to visualize changes to phenotypes. Explain how emigration can lead to evolutionary change. What factors can also contribute to emigration and evolutionary change? Explain.
