Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

DNA molecule segment is:TTACGCAAG The mutated DNA segment is TTCGCAAG. This is an example of ____ mutation.

A	Substitution
B	Deletion
C	Insertion
D	Inversion

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: TTA-CGC-AAG The mutated DNA segment is TTC-GCA-AG. This is an example of a deletion mutation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Segments of DNA that carry genetic information are called genes, and they are inherited by offspring from their parents during reproduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -(myoo-TAY-shun) Any change in the DNA sequence of a cell. Mutations may be caused by mistakes during cell division, or they may be caused by exposure to DNA-damaging agents in the environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mutations can result from errors in DNA replication during cell division, exposure to mutagens or a viral infection. Germline mutations (that occur in eggs and sperm) can be passed on to offspring, while somatic mutations (that occur in body cells) are not passed on.
