Answer:

The result of a change in DNA is that there will be a mutation of some sort. This could be a nonsense mutation which would not code for anything, it could be a missense mutation that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene, an insertion which changes the number of DNA bases in a gene by adding a piece of DNA and as a result the protein made by the gene may not function properly, a deletion which changes the number of DNA bases by removing a piece of DNA, a duplication which consists of a piece of DNA that is abnormally copied one or more times, or a frameshift mutation which occurs when the addition or loss of DNA bases changes a gene's reading frame. A reading frame consists of groups of 3 bases that each code for one amino acid.

What is true about DNA mutations?

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Crossing over is the process involved during meiosis of two chromosomes sharing genetic information with each other from each parent. This happens so the two daughter cells or sister chromatids have a variety of genetic information and so they are not completely identical. This leads to genetic diversity or variation.
