Solution
The correct option is B Linkage
Sudden inheritable changes in genetic material are called as mutations. Translation is the process of synthesis of polypeptides by polymerization of amino acids on ribosomes using the mRNA triplets as template. Transcription is the process of synthesis of RNA by RNA polymerase using DNA template strand. Thus mutation, translation and transcription are independent of distance between the genes on chromosomes which makes options A, C, and D wrong. Linkage is the tendency of closely placed genes on a chromosome to stay together during inheritance; it produces more parental combination and less/no new combinations of gene. Genes present together on a chromosome show linkage and do not follow independent assortment resulting in more parental types and less recombinants in progeny. Correct answer is B.
