Question

what would be the result of a cytosine base being substituted for a thymine base in a dna segment during dna replication? (1 point) responses the entire segment of dna would be affected. the entire segment of dna would be affected. the sequence could code for the wrong amino acid during translation. the sequence could code for the wrong amino acid during translation. there would be no effect on the dna. there would be no effect on the dna., the cytosine base would pair with adenine when the dna was replicated.

Answer 1

The sequence could code for the incorrect amino acid during translation if a cytosine base is changed to a thymine base in a DNA segment during DNA replication. The right response in this case is option C.

A base substitution in a DNA sequence during replication compromises the genetic information in the area where the change took place. The base replaced is also transcribed along with the genetic information from DNA into RNA during transcription. Adenine instead of guanine is transcriptionally transcribed if cytosine is replaced with thymine.

Due to the substituted base, the incorrect amino acids may wind up being translated during the translation of the genetic instructions, resulting in a defective protein.
