Question

Nuclear differentiation may lead to

• A. Genetic variations
• B. Gene interaction
• C. Genetic drift
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Genetic variations

Differentiation is the process where the cell takes up a specialised function and go on to form tissues and organs. This information is stored in the genetic material of the organism and is passed on from the parents to the offspring. The differentiation is controlled by the gene expression. This also leads to slight changes in the genetic material when the genes are passed from the parents to the offsprings and thus variations arise.

S, the correct option is 'Genetic variation'.
