MUTATIONS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What kind of mutation removes DNA?
A
Deletion
B
Insertion
C
Substitution
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Deletion mutations: a mutation in which a nucleobase is removed from the DNA sequence. Substitution mutations: a mutation in which a nucleobase is substituted for another nucleobase. For example, an A instead of a G. Insertion mutations: a mutation in which an additional nucleobase is inserted into the DNA sequence.

Detailed explanation-2: -A deletion changes the DNA sequence by removing at least one nucleotide in a gene. Small deletions remove one or a few nucleotides within a gene, while larger deletions can remove an entire gene or several neighboring genes.

Detailed explanation-3: -A deletion, as related to genomics, is a type of mutation that involves the loss of one or more nucleotides from a segment of DNA. A deletion can involve the loss of any number of nucleotides, from a single nucleotide to an entire piece of a chromosome.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mutations can be of many types, such as substitution, deletion, insertion, and translocation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Deletions. Deletions occur when a chromosome breaks and some genetic material is lost. Deletions can be large or small, and can occur anywhere along a chromosome. Duplications.
