Question

Total genetic content of an organism is called:

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

Hint:

The gene pool encompasses all genetic material in a population, reflecting genetic diversity and potential for adaptation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The correct Option is : 1

Step 1: Definition of gene pool. 
The gene pool is the total set of genetic material, including all alleles for all loci, within a population or species. It represents the diversity of genes available for inheritance. 

Step 2: Explanation of other terms. 
Genetic drift: Refers to random changes in allele frequencies in a population. 

Gene frequency: Refers to the proportion of a specific allele in the gene pool. 

Gene mutation: Refers to a permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene. \[ \therefore \text{The correct answer is: Gene pool.} \]
