Question

Select the correct statement.

• A. Heritable variation allows for evolution.
• B. Adaptive radiation allows for mutation.
• C. Crossing-over allows for mitosis.
• D. Translocation allows for DNA replication.
• E. Cellular differentiation allows for meiosis.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Heritable variation allows for evolution.

Heritable variations serve as raw material for natural selection and accumulation of selected heritable variations over generations leads to evolution. Diversification of ancestral line into different forms is referred to as adaptive radiation. Crossing over occurs during meiosis. Translocation is the step of elongation of peptide chain during translation. Cellular differentiation leads to tissue formation; meiosis is a type of cell division. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
