All of the Genes in a Population Comprise Its

Question

All of the genes in a population comprise its
A) genotype.
B) gene pool.
C) gene frequency.
D) gene reservoir.
E) genome.

Accepted Answer

A gene pool refers to all of the genes found within a population, including all of the different alleles for each gene. This term is commonly used in population genetics to describe the variations in genetic material that are available within a population. A genotype refers to the specific genetic makeup of an individual organism, while gene frequency refers to the proportion of a particular allele within a population. "Gene reservoir" is not a commonly used term and may not accurately describe the concept of a population's genetic diversity. A genome refers to the complete set of genetic material found within an organism, rather than a population.
