The answer is a missense mustation, or substitution mutation.
This type of mutation involves the substitution of one amino acid with another, resulting in the change of one DNA base pair.
Answer:
John Stephen Jones states that in evolution it is necessary to have into account three factors: natural selection, mutation, and random variation.
Explanation:
These three mechanisms influence evolution and they are responsible for generating phenotypic diversity that is observed in humans.
I recommend to read his article (chapter book):
Jones, JS. (2012). Is Human Evolution Over?. In Evolution 2.0 (pp. 167-176). Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg.
The DNA of a human cell can be cut and rearranged by using Enzymes. To cut DNA into smaller segments, enzyme nucleases are used. They do this by taking the phsophodiester bonds through hydrolysis and catalyzing it. when these enzymes comes into contact with a DNA sequence with a shape that matches a part of the enzyme, called the recognition site, it wraps around the DNA and causes a break in both strands of the molecule.
