Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

A gene or genetic mutation is a permanent alteration in the sequence of DNA that makes up a gene. It can affect individuals in two ways in body cells by gametic cells that may transfer to offspring and somatic cells are only affect the individual but not passes on to offspring.

Somatic or body cell mutations occur during a person's lifetime and are occur only in certain cells in the body.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

leonid [27]

<span>At the end of meiosis II, compared to the DNA from the original cell, the DNA in each of the four new cells is C)half as much and genetically different from the original. Meiosis is the type of cell division in which the genetic material is reduced by half. Thus, choices B and D are incorrect. Further, the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes so-called the crossover occurs during meiosis, so DNA in new cells will be genetically different from the original DNA. Thus, the correct choice is C.</span>
