Question

Genetic mutation changes the heritable phenotypic characters by altering the sequence of

• A. The somatic characters of any one parent
• B. The template of RNA synthesis
• C. The RNA in cytoplasm
• D. The amino acids of proteins formed in parents

Answer 1

The correct option is B The template of RNA synthesis

Genetic mutation is the basis of species diversity among all organisms. Mutations are changes in the genetic sequence, and they are a main cause of diversity among organisms. These changes occur at many different levels, and they can have widely differing consequences. Genetic mutation changes the heritable phenotypic characters by altering the sequence of the template (non-coding DNA strand) of RNA synthesis.

So, the correct answer 'The template of RNA synthesis'
