Genes with various repeats or deletions of base pairs are referred to as:

A) embryonic,germinal,and fetal.
B) fetal,embryonic,and germinal.
C) germinal,embryonic,and fetal.
D) germinal,fetal,and embryonic.

Base Pairs

the building blocks of the DNA double helix, consisting of adenine (A) paired with thymine (T), and guanine (G) paired with cytosine (C).

Repeats Or Deletions

Refers to genetic mutations where segments of DNA are duplicated or missing, respectively, which can affect an organism's development or function.

Genes

Units of heredity made up of DNA that carry information for the development, function, and maintenance of organisms.

  • Recognize the basic concepts of genetics related to prenatal development.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The terms "embryonic," "germinal," and "fetal" relate to developmental stages of an organism and are not used to describe genes. The correct order of development is germinal (the first two weeks after fertilization), embryonic (from the third week to the eighth week), and fetal (from the ninth week to birth). The term that refers to genes with various repeats or deletions of base pairs is "genetic variation." However, among the given options, the closest term is "germinal, embryonic, and fetal," in which the three terms are used to describe different stages of the early development of an organism. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
