Correct answer: C. Gene pool

  • A. Genetic drift
  • B. Genotype
  • C. Gene pool
  • D. Gene mutation

(A: Genetic drift) is the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant in a population due to random sampling of organisms. (B: Genotype) is an organism's set of heritable genes that can be passed down from parents to offspring. (D: Gene mutation) is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene.
