Answer 1

1. A) Codon

• It is sequence of three RNA nucleotides that codes for specific amino acid or stop signal.

2. A) Evolution of lactase-persistence allele among Europeans

• lactose tolerance develops cultures who consume the milk of mammals belonging to another species, like cows.

3. D) Maurice White

• Maurice White did not contribute towards Darwin Theory.

4. D) Reproductive success

• Peron with sickle cell anemia are resistant to malaria.

5. A) Interruption of mitosis at cartilaginous growth plates

• The proliferation and differentiation within the cartilaginous growth plate is retarded in this condition.

6. C) Producing A and B antigens and producing neither anti-A nor anti-B antibodies

• In AB blood group, there is no antibody on the surface of blood cell.
