Original DNA: AATCGCCAMutuated DNA: AATCACCAWhat type of mutation is this?ResponsesReverse mutationReverse mutationPoint mutationPoint mutationInverse mutationInverse mutationGene mutation
Solution
This is a Point mutation. In this type of mutation, one base pair in a DNA sequence is replaced by another. In the given example, the original DNA sequence AATCGCCA has been mutated to AATCACCA. Here, the base 'G' has been replaced by 'A'.
