Mutations are spontaneous and occur at random however there are some mutagenic agents which increase the chance of this happening such as radiation exposure. If it is a point shift mutation then only a few bases on the dna sequence are changed so only changes a few of the amino acids in that chain (such as inversion of a base). If its a frame shift then the base sequence is altered so much so that every amino acid from after that changes (such as deletion of a base) which can create things such as cri-du-chat syndrome which results from a piece of chromosome 5 is missing. Hope this helps:)

Answer:
<u>50%</u>
Explanation:
<em>Since</em> it was not a case of a Lettuce seed exposed first to <em>red light</em> and then to <em>far-red light</em> which will very likely not germinate because Pr (chromoprotein inactive form) absorbs red light efficiently, the light absorbed will convert a high proportion of the molecules to the Pfr (chromoprotein active form), thereby inducing germination. So there is a 50/50 percentage chance of of germination.
