The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the name of genes that resemble functional genes but do not produce any functional substance. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: The key terms here are "resemble functional genes" and "do not produce functional substance." This indicates that we are looking for a type of gene that has a similar structure to functional genes but lacks functionality. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: The options provided are: - Jumping gene - Overlapping gene - Pseudogene - Non-functional gene 4. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Jumping Gene**: These are DNA sequences that can move around within the genome. This does not fit the description. - **Overlapping Gene**: These genes have nucleotide sequences that partially overlap with another gene. This is also not what we are looking for. - **Pseudogene**: These are segments of DNA that resemble functional genes but do not produce functional products. They are often non-functional copies of genes. - **Non-functional Gene**: This is a general term and does not specifically describe the resemblance to functional genes. 5. **Selecting the Correct Answer**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Pseudogene**. Pseudogenes are indeed non-functional segments of DNA that resemble functional genes. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question is **Pseudogene**.
