Solution
The correct option is B collinearity
The nucleotide sequences in a triplet (groups of three) that code for a specific amino acid are called genetic codes.
Genetic code works on the principle of collinearity. The linear arrangement of the nucleotide sequences on the DNA determines the order of codons on the mRNA after transcription. This linear order of codons determines the order of the amino acids in a polypeptide chain. Hence option a is correct.
The three nucleotide sequence in the mRNA that indicates which amino acid should be incorporated in the growing polypeptide chain is called the codon. The anticodon is the complementary three nucleotide sequence in the appropriate tRNA.
Transformation is the process by which genetic material in the form of 'naked' DNA is transferred between microbial cells.
