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.
Jumping genes form a major portion of the eukaryotic genome. They are often responsible for mutations and associated with the duplication of the genetic material. They also cause the structural changes in the chromosomes like inversion, deletion and translocation which are called the chromosomal aberrations.
Yeah it’s definitely G lol
<em>This is an example of;</em>
B. Photoperiodism
<u>Photoperiodism is the response of an organism to seasonal changes in day length.
</u>
<u>They are classified under three groups according to the photoperiods;</u>
<u>1. Short-day plants </u>
<u>2. Long-day plants </u>
<u>3. Day-neutral plants.</u>
Sharp claws of eagle help in adaptation because it helps them hold on to their prey during flight. They also help to kill it.
Cells get nutrients from their environment, but where do those nutrients come from? Virtually all organic material on Earth has been produced by cells that convert energy from the Sun into energy-containing macromolecules. This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the global carbon cycle and organisms that conduct photosynthesis represent the lowest level in most food chains (Figure 1).
