Answer:

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.

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.
