Answer 2

Genetic description of a population is its gene pool.

Explanation:

A gene is a part of genetic material which gets passes from one generation to other generation. The genes contain DNA which defines the genotype of an individual organism. The genotype along with the weather conditions defines the phenotype.

A phenotype can be described as the physical appearance of an individual. For example, people in South Africa have darker skin while in United States of America have light colored skin. There is also difference in small features such as nose, eyes, lips and their body structure.
