Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What term accurately defines the definition below?All the alleles (for a specific gene) within a population.
A
Speciation
B
Evolution
C
Gene Pool
D
Allele Frequency
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A gene pool is the collection of different genes within an interbreeding population. The concept of a gene pool usually refers to the sum of all the alleles at all of the loci within the genes of a population of a single species.

Detailed explanation-2: -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: -A gene pool is the set of all genes, including all the different alleles, in any interbreeding population, usually of a particular species. Allele frequency: the proportion of an allele within a population. allele frequencies range from 0 to 1.0, or as a percentage.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Populations evolve through genetic change. A population’s gene pool includes all the alleles of all the genes of all the individuals within it. A gene pool for a single gene includes all the alleles of that gene present in all individuals. Analysis of a gene pool can reveal variation which is not visible in phenotypes.
