Which type of mutation is shown here?

Original: A T A C A C
Mutant : T T A C A C

A.translocation
B.non-disjunction
C.frameshift
D.point

Respuesta :

Answer:

d

Explanation:

that is an example of a point mutation. A point mutation is a mutation  that causes only one nucleotide to change and in the example adenine changes to thymine

hope this helps (:

The mutation shown here is point mutation.

What is mutation?

  • "A changes/alteration in nitrogenous bases sequence of DNA that can results in changes in the genotype and phenotype of an organism is known as mutation."
  • It occurs due to: deletion, insertion, translocation and inversion.
  • During insertion, an extra nitrogenous bases are added to the DNA sequence.
  • During deletion, a nitrogenous bases are removed from the DNA sequence.
  • During inversion, the sequence of nitrogenous bases gets inverted in a DNA strand.
  • In translocation, a sequence of one DNA strand breaks off and attaches to another DNA strand.

What is point mutation?

  • "A point mutation occurs in a genome when a single base pair is added, deleted or changed."

Here, the sequence of original strand is A T A C A C and the sequence of mutant one's is T T A C A C. The base A is changed into base T.

Hence, the correct option is: D. Point mutation.
