Answer:
Transcription
Explanation:
This is the process by which the information contained in the DNA is copied by base pairing to form a strand of ribonucleic acid called messenger RNA. During transcription, the portion of the DNA with the organic bases required for the synthesis of the required protein open up. Free RNA nucleotides align opposite one of the chains in a complementary relationship. Guanine of RNA pairs with cytosine of DNA. Adenine of RNA pairs with thymine of DNA while uracil of RNA pairs with adenine of DNA.
2 + 9x = 20
2 - 2 + 9x = 20 - 2
9x = 18
9x/9 = 18/9
x = 2
Insertion mutations can be small, like in the CAGTC example in which only one nucleotide was inserted, or they can be large, with many nucleotides being added. If the number of bases inserted is not a multiple of three, then the insertion mutation is also considered a frameshift mutation.
Hope this helps :D
