Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A mutation where a base is added is called a ____
A
deletion
B
insertion
C
translocation
D
substitution
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An insertion, as related to genomics, is a type of mutation that involves the addition of one or more nucleotides into a segment of DNA. An insertion can involve the addition of any number of nucleotides, from a single nucleotide to an entire piece of a chromosome.

Detailed explanation-2: -An insertion mutation, also known as a gene insertion or DNA insertion, is a type of mutation where additional nucleotides are inserted into the DNA. DNA is the genetic material of the cell. It contains all of the instructions for cell structure and function.

Detailed explanation-3: -Insertions and deletions An insertion mutation occurs when an extra nucleotide is added to the DNA strand during replication.

Detailed explanation-4: -An insertion is a point mutation in which one or more base pairs is added to a DNA sequence.

Detailed explanation-5: -An insertion changes the DNA sequence by adding one or more nucleotides to the gene. As a result, the protein made from the gene may not function properly. Deletion. A deletion changes the DNA sequence by removing at least one nucleotide in a gene.
