The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, "The location of a particular gene of a given chromosome is?", we need to analyze the options provided and determine which one correctly defines the location of a gene on a chromosome. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Options**: - **Gene Pool**: This term refers to the total genetic diversity within a population or species. It does not refer to the location of a specific gene on a chromosome. - **Genotype**: This is the genetic constitution of an organism, which includes the alleles present. It does not indicate the physical location of a gene on a chromosome. - **Genetic Care**: This term is not commonly used in genetics and does not pertain to the location of a gene. - **Gene Locus**: This term specifically refers to the physical location of a gene or other DNA sequence on a chromosome. 2. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: - Among the options, "Gene Locus" is the only term that directly relates to the physical location of a gene on a chromosome. Therefore, it is the correct answer. 3. **Definition of Gene Locus**: - A gene locus is defined as the specific physical location of a gene or other DNA sequence on a chromosome. The plural form of locus is loci. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer to the question is **Gene Locus**.
