Question

All of the dominant and recessive alleles taken together form the?

Answer 1

D gene pool for the population

Answer 2

Answer:

D. Gene pool for the population

Explanation:

• The set of all genes of a particular population taken together constitutes the gene pool of the population.
• Each gene has dominant and recessive alleles, therefore the total of these alleles is a representative of the gene pool.
• A larger gene pool is indicative of higher biodiversity whereas a smaller gene pool indicates otherwise. 
• A gene pool of a particular population is usually concerning a particular species i.e. interbreeding population.
