Genes with various repeats or deletions of base pairs are referred to as:
A) embryonic,germinal,and fetal.

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

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.
