All the alleles present in the gametes of a sexually reproducing population are known as the population' _.
Correct answer: C. Gene pool
- A. Gene frequency
- B. Genome
- C. Gene pool
- D. Genotype
Explanation
The correct answer is Gene pool. A gene pool includes all the genetic information, including all alleles, present in a population. It reflects the population's genetic diversity and capacity for adaptation. Other options are incorrect because:Gene frequency pertains to the proportion of a particular allele in a population, not the complete set of alleles.Genome refers to the complete genetic material of an individual organism, not a population.Genotype describes the genetic constitution of an individual, rather than a collective population.

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
