Answer:

The correct answer is option d) age of either or both parents.

Explanation:

Genetic variation is the difference in nucleotide sequences between individuals organisms within a particular population. Variation can occur either in germ cells that are sperm and egg or in somatic cells or in both.

Random fertilization of egg and sperm can lead to genetic variation is every germ cell has a different set of chromosomes. Independent assortment of chromosomes is also the same as random fertilization as it is also random. Crossing over of homologous chromosomes is one of a major source of the genetic variation as it forms a new set of chromosomes.

Thus, the correct answer is option D) age of either or both parents.

What does an Mrna molecule play in the flow of information for protein synthesis
dimaraw [331]


mRNA plays a crucial role in protein synthesis. It carries the information for synthesis of a particular protein from the DNA to the ribosomes.

In the cell nucleus, this information is copied (transcribed ) from DNA and onto mRNA. mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where it attaches to a ribosome.

Transfer RNA or tRNA  begins to read (translate) the information on the attached mRNA and from the pool of free amino acids in the cytoplasm, fetches the amino acids that corresponds to the information, and brings them to the ribosome where they are linked together into a chain, forming the primary structure of protein.
