Mutations are inherited from a parent and are present throughout a person’s life in virtually every cell in the body. Also called germ-line mutations because they are present in the parent’s egg or sperm cells. Mutations occur at some time during a person’s life and are present only in certain cells but not in every cell in the body. The changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun or can occur if an error is made as DNA copies itself during cell division.

Hope i could help :)

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.  Light and some other factors are necessary for chlorophyll production

Explanation:

By this experiment, it is clear that light is the major factor that helps in the production of chlorophyll in seedlings or plants. In this study, placing the seeds in the light turns 75 seedlings green which is possible by the production of the green pigment, chlorophyll only. So, it is proved that light is a key factor in the production of chlorophyll.

Besides light, there must be some other factors (mineral nutrition and chemical metabolites) that also play role in the production of chlorophyll or increase or decrease of the chlorophyll production as few seedlings did not turn green in the study.
