The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Concept of Gene Pool**: - A gene pool refers to the total collection of genes and their alleles present in a population. It encompasses all the genetic information available within that population. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: "Genotype of an individual in a population" - This option is incorrect because a gene pool is not limited to the genotype of a single individual; it includes the genotypes of all individuals in the population. - **Option 2**: "Different genes of all the individuals of a species found in an area" - This option is correct. It accurately describes a gene pool as it includes the various genes from all individuals of a species in a specific area. - **Option 3**: "Pool of artificially synthesized genes" - This option is incorrect. A gene pool refers to naturally occurring genes in a population, not artificially synthesized ones. - **Option 4**: "Genes of a genus" - This option is also incorrect. A gene pool pertains to a specific population of a species, not the broader category of a genus. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct definition of a gene pool is "different genes of all the individuals of a species found in an area." **Final Answer**: The correct answer is: "Different genes of all the individuals of a species found in an area." ---
