Detailed explanation-1: -A gene pool refers to the combination of all the genes (including alleles) present in a reproducing population or species.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Collective Set of Alleles in a Population Is Its Gene Pool.
Detailed explanation-3: -gene pool, sum of a population’s genetic material at a given time. The term typically is used in reference to a population made up of individuals of the same species and includes all genes and combinations of genes (sum of the alleles) in the population.
Detailed explanation-4: -Allele Frequencies In a sexually reproducing species, each member of the population has two copies of each gene. Therefore, the total number of copies of each gene in the gene pool is 200.
Detailed explanation-5: -The gene pool is also called plant genetic resources (PGR) or germplasm which could be defined as the sum total of all the alleles influencing a wide range of characters (i.e., the collective hereditary genetic wealth) that a crop has acquired over millions of years under natural conditions.
