Which one of the following pairs of terms / names mean one and the same thing?

Options

  1. AGene pool - genome
  2. BCodon - gene
  3. CCistron - triplet
  4. DDNA fingerprinting - DNA profiling

Correct answer

D. DNA fingerprinting - DNA profiling

Step-by-step solution

Gene pool is the total gene present in a population. Genome is the total genetic constitution of an organism. Codon is the basic unit of genetic code, a sequence of three adjacent nucleotide in DNA or m RNA that code for an amino acid. Gene is the basic unit of heredity, a sequence of DNA nucleotide that encodes a protein. Cistron is a segment of DNA nucleotides that codes for a polypeptide chain. Triplet is a three nucleotides sequence coding for an amino acid. Therefore, aligned & codon triplet & cistron gene ali
