Cell differentiation and development is dependent on the
a. position of chromosomes in genes.
b. number of genes in chromosomes.
c. number of chromosomes in genes.
d. position of genes in chromosomes.

The most appropriate answer would be D. position of genes in chromosomes.

Cell differentiation and development refers to the phenomenon by which a cell becomes specialized to perform specific functions.

It is achieved by highly regulated gene expression of the cell.

Each cell in a multi-cellular organism contains same genetic material (same number of chromosomes as well as genes) however, different sets of genes are expressed in different types of cells.

For example, heart cells express different sets of genes than the nerve cells.

Thus, the position of genes in chromosomes play important role in cell differentiation.

c

explanation:

ans.

dna fingerprinting is defined as a process that determines the dna characteristics of an individual. these dna characteristics are unique among individuals as their fingerprints, so it is known as dna fingerprinting.

steps of dna fingerprinting includes extraction of dna from sample, amplification of dna, restriction digestion of amplified dna, and then analysis of dna by gel electrophoresis, respectively.

thus, the next step performed by the scientist is 'to cut the amplified dna (obtained by polymerase chain reaction) by restriction enzymes that cleave the dna into fragments and their analysis.'
