Question

All of the alleles of a specific gene in a population make up the

A. gene pool
B. mutation potential
C. dominant factor
D. chromosomes for that population

Answer 1

I believe your answer should be A

Answer 2

Option A, Gene pool

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us define all the given options –

Option A, gene pool – This represents the entire set of possible allele around a loci and thus can be referred to as pool of genetic information (Gene pool), Thus option A is correct

Option B, Mutation potential represents the mutation caused by certain change in regular genetic information, thus option B is incorrect

Option C, Dominant factor – It is the allele which is expressed most of the time and thus option C is incorrect

Option D, chromosomes for that population may not consists of all the alleles for a given gene, thus option D is also incorrect.
