The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Text Solution: 1. **Definition of Gene Pool**: A gene pool refers to the complete set of genetic information (genes) within a population of a particular species. It encompasses all the alleles (variations of genes) present in that population. 2. **Importance of Gene Pool**: The gene pool is crucial as it indicates the genetic diversity within a population. A larger gene pool signifies a greater variety of genetic traits, which can enhance the adaptability and survival of the species in changing environments. 3. **Evaluation of Options**: - **Option 1**: "Genotype of an individual of population" - This is incorrect because a gene pool refers to the collective genes of a population, not just the genotype of a single individual. - **Option 2**: "Gene of all individuals of species are found in an area" - This is correct. It accurately describes the gene pool as it includes the genetic information from all individuals of a species within a specific area. - **Option 3**: "Pool of artificially synthesized genes" - This is incorrect as gene pools pertain to naturally occurring genes within a population, not artificially created ones. - **Option 4**: "Genes of genus" - This is also incorrect because a genus encompasses multiple species, while a gene pool is specific to a single species. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is that the gene pool consists of the different genes of all individuals of a species found in a particular area.
