Answer: 1. B-D-A-C.
Explanation: If a genetic error occurs during chromosome replication, it will lead to a series of events ranging from:
1) Production of a DNA strand with an altered base sequence.
2) Production of an mRNA strand with an altered base sequence during transcription. This is because mRNA is synthesized by copying the genetic message coded in the DNA.
3). Synthesis of a protein with an altered amino acid sequence during translation, and this eventually leads to
4). The expression of a new inheritable trait in the organism.
