In 1958, Francis Crick proposed that genes and their corresponding polypeptides are "colinear." Which of the following statements concerning the concept of colinearity is INCORRECT?
A) Colinearity means that the linear nucleotide sequence of a given gene corresponds directly to the linear amino acid sequence in the corresponding polypeptide.
B) The number of nucleotides in a gene should be precisely proportional to the number of amino acids present in the corresponding polypeptide.
C) Colinearity generally holds true for the coding regions of prokaryotic viral genes.
D) The vast majority of eukaryotic genes also follow the concept of colinearity although the size of genes may be larger.
