Question

If a DNA sequence is altered from TAGCTGA to TAGTGA, what kind of mutation has occurred? View Available Hint(s) If a DNA sequence is altered from TAGCTGA to TAGTGA, what kind of mutation has occurred? a. Both addition and deletion. b. Addition. c. None. d. Deletion.

Answer 1

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

If a DNA sequence is altered from TAGCTGA to TAGTGA, the kind of mutation that has occurred is DELETION.

Deletion is a kind of small-scale mutation in which one or more nucleotides is removed from the DNA. This mutation can alter the reading frame of the gene, and it is irreversible.
