Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ is the total sum of genetic diversity found in a population
A
Gene pool
B
Gene frequency
C
Human population
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A gene pool is the total sum of the genetic diversity found in a population of a particular species. Thus, a large pool of genes will have extensive genetic diversity while a narrow gene pool will have low genetic diversity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic diversity is the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species, it ranges widely from the number of species to differences within species and can be attributed to the span of survival for a species.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. 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-4: -Solution : Gene pool is the sum total of all the alleles of genes present in a particular species and its allied wild and cultivated varieties.

Detailed explanation-5: -Examples of Gene Pool The human gene pool is therefore made up of every allele variant of the approximated 19, 000-20, 000 human genes within our DNA.
