Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Mutations can be of many types, such as substitution, deletion, insertion, and translocation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: This is an example of a deletion mutation.
Detailed explanation-3: -The given DNA sequence on DNA is: CGATTACAG. A on DNA will pair with U and C will pair with G. The corresponding mRNA sequence will be: GCUAAUGUC. Was this answer helpful?
Detailed explanation-4: -Considering the principle of complementary base pairing, you would expect an equal ratio of which two nitrogenous bases in a DNA molecule? When a triplet of bases in the coding sequence of DNA is GCA, the corresponding codon for the mRNA that is transcribed from it is: CGU.
