A) linkage
B) mutation
C) translation
D) transcription
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Linkage is the inheritance of certain genes as a group because they are parts of the same chromosome. Linked genes do not show independent assortment. Linkage was first suspected and theorized in 1903 by Sutton and Boveri. Mutations are sudden stable inheritable/transmissible discontinuous variations which appear in organisms due to permanent change in their genotype. The term mutation was coined by Hugo de Vries (1901). In translation, the amino acids are linked in a particular sequence as per the nucleotides in the mRNA. Transcription is a heterocatalytic function of DNA. which involves transfer of coded information from DNA to RNA through synthesis of RNA on the template of DNA.
