All the genes/alleles found in a breeding population at a given time are colllectively termed as
Correct answer: B. Gene pool
- A. Genome
- B. Gene pool
- C. Genotype
- D. Karyotype
Explanation
The total aggregate of genes in a population at a given time is called the population's gene pool. It consists of all the alleles at all gene loci in all individuals of the 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.
