Answer:

B. insertion

Explanation:

It can be observed that nitrogenous bases were added to the codon sequence, this is a characteristic of gene insertion mutations.

Insertion is the addition of base pairs to the DNA sequence.

This type of mutation occurs very common when replicating the DNA intron regions where large repetitive sequences (microsatellite regions) are present.

Insertions may occur due to uneven crossings during meiosis.

<span>The correct answer is B. Insertion. In this particular insertion there is an insert of three bases. Complementary strands in DNA are the opposite strand, so Adenine is coupled to Thymine and Guanine is coupled to Cytosine. So the complementary sequence (also called the antisense strand) of the original would be GTC GGC ATC, there's an extra 3 bases in there: ACA.</span>

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The mitotic phases alternate with interphase in the cell cycle. In interphase, the G1 phase occurs first where the cell grows while carrying out cell functions unique to its cell type. Then the S phase takes place where the cell duplicates its chromosomes. Next is the G2 phase, just before mitosis where the cell continues to grow and carry out its functions. After interphase, mitosis occurs, the first phase in mitosis is prophase where the chromatin becomes tightly coiled and the nucleoli disappear. Next is prometaphase where the nuclear envelope begins to fragment, and the two chromatids of each chromosome are held together by the centromere. After prometaphase is metaphase during which the microtubules and move the chromosomes to the metaphase plate at the equator of the cell. Next is anaphase where the sister chromatids separate. After anaphase, telophase occurs where the nuclear envelopes reform around the set of chromosomes located at opposite ends of the cell. Cytokinesis also occurs which is the division of the cytoplasm.
