Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -5.3).
