earnstyle [38]

The correct answer is option (C) transposons or jumping genes.  

Barbara McClintock was an american cytogeneticist. In 1940s, she discovered the phenomenon of transposition brought about by the mobile genetic elements or jumping genes or the transposable elements. These jumping genes refers to a sequence of DNA which can change its position in the genome or the genetic constitution of an organism. She discovered these jumping genes in the Maize for the first time and received the nobel prize in 1983.

They also cause the structural changes in the chromosomes like inversion, deletion and translocation which are called the chromosomal aberrations.

Translation is the process of formation of the protein  from the RNA molecules. Different proteins and enzymes  are required for the process of translation. Three steps of translation are- initiation, elongation and termination.

The testosterone hormone  in humans beings help in the development of the sperms and the male secondary sexual characters. The testosterone hormone binds with the specific proteins. Protein then binds to the specific DNA sites. These proteins helps in the transcription of the specific genes and may acts as the enhancers molecules. These proteins helps in the transcription of the certain genes.
