Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
All of the alleles of all the individuals in a population is referred to as:
A
Genetic equilibrium
B
Fitness
C
Genetic variation
D
A gene pool
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -A gene pool refers to the combination of all the genes (including alleles) present in a reproducing population or species.

Detailed explanation-3: -The collective set of all the alleles that exist within a population is referred to as its gene pool. Changes in the gene pool pave the way for species adaptation, the emergence of new species, and, ultimately, evolution.

Detailed explanation-4: -A gene pool includes all genes and combinations of genes or we can say all of the alleles in the population of a given species. It can change over time through evolution and can occur in a variety of different ways like mutations, natural selection, and genetic drift.

Detailed explanation-5: -A gene pool is a collection of all the genes in a population. This can be any population-frogs in a pond, trees in a forest, or people in a town.
