Question

During what process would the OCA2 gene be copied in an individual?

a.
replication.
c.
translocation.
b.
translation.
d.
transformation.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option a. replication.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

Let's analyze each of the options:

a.

replication: is the process by which a gene is obtained exactly to its original. It is a copy of the gene.

c.

translocation: it is a process in which a segment moves from position.

b.

translation: is the process by which genetic information is translated into protein language.

d.

transformation: it is a process by which a cell is genetically modified in some way.

After the analysis we conclude that the correct answer is option a.

replication.

Answer 2

The OCA2 gene's function is to provide instructions in the process of making the p protein, hence the former name of the gene as P gene.An example of this process is the manufacturing in the body of melanin. The process of copying of OCA2 is called translation.
