Gene flow is one of the mechanisms that can change the frequencies of alleles by transfer the genes from the gene pool of one population to another. Newly-arrived bonobos will bring the gametes that can reproduce. So, the introduction of new alleles will increase the variability within a population and will allow the new combinations of traits.
