The effect does the chemical referred to as a mutagen has is it causes a permanent change in the genetic material (dna) and is denoted as option D.

<h3>What is DNA?</h3>

This is referred to as deoxyribonucleic acid and is the genetic material in living organisms.

Mutagen on the other hand are agents which cause mutations which means alterations in the DNA of organisms. It affects the transcription and replication of the DNA thereby leading to cell death and other effects such as diseased condition.

This is therefore the reason why option D was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

In the given case, it can be concluded that very less amount of telomerase is being produced.

Explanation:

Terminal transferase or telomerase refers to a ribonucleoprotein that supplements a telomere repeat sequence to the 3 prime terminals of telomeres. A telomere is present at each terminal of the chromosomes found in the majority of eukaryotes. It helps in safeguarding the terminals of the chromosomes from destruction or from getting combined with the adjacent chromosomes.  

Telomerase has its own RNA molecule and works as a reverse transcriptase enzyme. Generally, telomerase is found active in gametes, in stem cells, and in the majority of cancer cells, however, it is generally present in low concentration or is absent in the majority of somatic cells. Thus, the decrease in the ends of the chromosomes suggests that the production of telomerase is taking place at low levels.
