Question
The original strand of DNA looks like this ACGTCTCGA. The mutated strand looks like this ACGTTCGA. What type of mutation is this?*1 pointTranslocationNucleotide base deletionNucleotide base insertionNucleotide base substitution
Solution
This is a Nucleotide base substitution. In the original DNA strand, the seventh base is a 'C'. However, in the mutated strand, this 'C' has been replaced by a 'T'. This is a classic example of a base substitution, where one base is replaced by another.
