  • Understanding the Gene Pool: Genetic Diversity in Populations
    The term for all types of alleles that exist in a population is called the gene pool.

    Here's why:

    * Alleles: Different versions of a gene.

    * Population: A group of individuals of the same species that can interbreed.

    * Gene pool: The total collection of genes and alleles in a population.

    Therefore, the gene pool encompasses the entire genetic diversity present within a population, including all the different alleles for every gene.
