Original DNA: AATCGCCAMutuated DNA: AATCACCAWhat type of mutation is this? Pick all that apply ResponsesGene mutationGene mutationChromosome mutationChromosome mutationFrameshift mutationFrameshift mutationA point mutation
Solution
This is a point mutation. In the original DNA sequence, the fifth base is a G, while in the mutated DNA sequence, the fifth base is an A. This is a type of point mutation specifically known as a base substitution. None of the other mutation types listed apply in this case. A gene mutation refers to changes in the base sequence of the DNA of a gene, a chromosome mutation refers to changes in the structure or number of whole chromosomes, and a frameshift mutation refers to the insertion or deletion of a base in the DNA sequence, causing a shift in the reading frame.
