What do you call all of the alleles in a population?
A
Gene pool
B
Relative Frequency
C
Genetic Drift
D
Allele pool
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Collective Set of Alleles in a Population Is Its Gene Pool.

Detailed explanation-2: -00:00. … 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-3: -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.

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.
