(N/A) Mendelian population is a group of interbreeding individuals of the same species that share a common gene pool. The three most characteristic criteria are:
$1$. The population must be sufficiently large to allow for the free flow of genetic material among individuals through sexual reproduction.
$2$. Mating within the population must occur randomly (panmixia).
$3$. The population must be free from evolutionary forces such as mutation,migration (gene flow),and natural selection,which ensures that the allele frequencies remain constant over generations (Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium).
