Answer 1

The correct option is D Mutation

The concept of sudden genetic change which breeds true in a species is represented as a mutation. Any sudden or spontaneous change in character which is inheritable is known as mutation. It is defined as the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form which may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes.

So, the correct answer is option D.
