Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is option (E): TTTF
Nucleic acids and identical three-base codons are used by all known biological systems to regulate the creation of proteins from amino acids.
The mRNA codon UUU, for instance, codes for phenylalanine in all cells of all animals. The genetic code is hence universal. One codon typically codes for one amino acid. On rare occasions, however, more than one codon may encode the same amino acid, for example, both the codons GAA and GAG encode glutamic acid. This characteristic is known as degeneracy or redundancy. Phenylalanine is coded by the codon UUU. The three STOP codons in the genetic code are UAG, UAA, and UGA.
These codons are frequently referred to as nonsense codons or termination codons since they do not code for an amino acid.
These codons designate the conclusion of the polypeptide chain during translation.
Stop codons indicate the conclusion of this process by binding release factors, forcing the ribosomal subunits to separate and release the amino acid chain. So, GAA is not a stop-terminator codon.

Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance
Chromosomal theory: Linkage and Genetic Recombination
If two genes were present on the same chromosome, the chances of getting a parental combination were much higher in the next generation in comparison to the non-parental combination. This physical association of genes was termed ‘linkage’. The description of the non-parental gene combinations in a dihybrid cross is termed ‘genetic recombination'. After the discovery of linked genes, the frequency of linked genes also influenced the appearance of traits in the next generation.
Observations of Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance:
- During the cell division-meiosis process, the pairs of homologous chromosomes move as discrete structures, which are independent of other pairs of chromosomes.
- From each homologous pair, there is a random distribution of chromosomes into the pre-gametes.
- Each parent synthesizes gametes, which add up to only half of their chromosomal complement.
- Even though female (egg) and male (sperm) gametes differ in morphology and size, they have the same number of chromosomes, submitting equal genetic contributions from each parent.
- The gametic chromosomes fuse during the process of fertilization to produce offspring with the same number of a chromosome as their parents.
