D) A<span> mutation can lead to the incorrect synthesis of proteins, which play a fundamental role in regulating cell activities.

Proteins are crucial to organisms as they regulate many of the cell's activities. Protein synthesis relies on DNA because DNA codes for the mRNA that is read by the ribosomes, and the ribosomes are what produce the proteins. A mutation can cause the incorrect amino acid to be coded for, which can affect the protein that the amino acid sequence/polypeptides create,</span>

are chromosome pairs, one from each parent, that are similar in length, gene position and centromere location

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

This definition suits that of "HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES"

Explanation:

Homologous chromosomes are similar pairs of chromosomes i.e. in length, gene positioning and centromere location (one from each parent) but not identical. Homologous chromosomes are not identical in the sense that, alleles on each pair may be different, resulting in genetic variation of the offspring.

Using humans as a case study, a karyotype (pictorial display of chromosomal arrangement) shows the complete set of chromosomes, which has two complete set (diploid). Each human cell contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, with each pair contributed by each parent i.e. 46 chromosomes in total. Every chromosome pair represents a set of homologous chromosome.
