What is a gene pool?
A
all the traits seen in a population
B
all the alleles seen in a population
C
all the hair colors seen in a population
D
none of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A gene pool refers to the combination of all the genes (including alleles) present in a reproducing population or species. A large gene pool has extensive genomic diversity and is better able to withstand environmental challenges.

Detailed explanation-2: -The gene pool is the sum of all the alleles at all genes in a population.

Detailed explanation-3: -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: -The aggregate of all the genes and their alleles present in an interbreeding population is known as gene pool.

Detailed explanation-5: -The gene pool is the collection of all the genes in an interbreeding population. It is set of all genes or genetic information usually of a particular species. This also proves to be the basic level at which evolution occurs.
