Detailed explanation-1: -A genome is the complete set of genetic information in an organism. It provides all of the information the organism requires to function. In living organisms, the genome is stored in long molecules of DNA called chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -A gene pool refers to the combination of all the genes (including alleles) present in a reproducing population or species.

Detailed explanation-3: -Populations are made up of members of the same species that interbreed. Population geneticists study the variation that naturally occurs among the genes within a population. The collection of all the genes and the various alternate or allelic forms of those genes within a population is called its gene pool.

Detailed explanation-4: -So the correct option is ‘the entire genome of a reproducing individual.
