Solution:

Genome is the complete but single set of chromosomes as found in gametes or gametophytic cells where each chromosome is represented single. Linkage is the phenomenon of certain genes staying together during inheritance through generations without any change or separation due to their being present on the same chromosome. Gene pool is the aggregate of all the genes and their alleles present in an interbreeding population. Genotype is the gene complement or genetic constitution of an individual with regard to one or more characters irrespective of whether the genes are expressed or not.
