Question

A population of white-tailed deer inhabits a certain patch of forest in Michigan. Which group of alleles can be considered the gene pool of those deer? 
       all alleles of the white-tailed deer in this population only 
       the dominant alleles of the white-tailed deer in this population only
       all alleles of all deer in North America
       alleles of all white-tailed deer

As long as these deer live in this forest and don't move around or have other deer immigrate in, then the gene pool for this population is all the alleles in these deer in this population only.
