    Question

    Some features of genes are mentioned below. Which option states the INCORRECT feature of genes?

    A.

    They do not undergo any change.

    B.

    They control traits by producing proteins.

    C.

    Each germ cell has one gene set.

    D.

    They are segments of DNA.

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is (A) They do not undergo any change.

    • Genes can and do undergo changes, which are commonly referred to as mutations. These changes can occur naturally or be induced by environmental factors.
    • Mutations are a crucial part of evolution and genetic diversity.

    Correct Features of Genes:

    • They control traits by producing proteins: Genes code for specific proteins, which influence an organism's traits and functions. For example, the gene for eye color determines the protein that gives pigment to the eyes.
    • Each germ cell has one gene set: Germ cells (sperm and egg) are haploid, meaning they carry only one set of genes, which combine during fertilization to form a diploid zygote.
    • They are segments of DNA: Genes are specific sequences of DNA that act as instructions for building proteins.
