Solution
According to the Modern Synthesis Theory (the Neo-Darwinian theory), a population is a group of interbreeding individuals of the same species with a shared gene pool within a specific geographical area. This gene pool contains all the genetic variations in the population, and through mechanisms like natural selection, mutation, genetic drift, and gene flow, evolutionary changes occur over generations.
