Answer:

One of the RNA molecules has experienced gene duplication as the result of translocation.

Explanation:

Translocation and duplication are some of the structural abnormalities in the chromosomes that may even cause certain genetic disorders. Duplication is the presence of a genetic segment for more than one time in the chromosome. The repeated genetic segments are mostly present in the tandem pattern. When a chromosome fragment breaks off and attaches to a non-homologous chromosome, it is called translocation. It leads to the deletion of a genetic segment in one chromosome and duplication in the other.

According to the given information, a genetic segment bearing two genes is detached from one RNA and gets attached to the other RNA molecule of the HIV genome. Therefore, the RNA molecule has undergone translocation and has lost a genetic segment while the other has gained a genetic segment (duplication) due to translocation.

<span>B. Rocks go through many stages during their formation</span><span>

Sedimentary rocks together with the igneous rocks and the metamorphic rocks are the three main types of rocks that existed on earth. It is formed or made accordingly into four major ways. First, it is formed by depositing weathered remains of "clastic sedimentary rocks" or other rocks. Second, is through accumulation and the consolidation of sediments, thirdly is by depositing the results of biogenic activity and lastly it is formed through precipitation from solution. Limestone, shale, chalk clay and others are best examples of sedimentary rocks. </span>
