Answer:
A mutation is a change that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke. Mutations can occur during DNA replication if errors are made and not corrected in time.
Answer:
these statements are true
B) Insertions or deletions of single base-pairs within a protein coding sequence probably change the amino acid sequence
D) Missense mutations always change the amino acid sequence encoded by a gene
E) Nucleotide substitutions outside of the coding sequence can affect the expression of a gene.
Explanation:
B) insertion or deletion of nucleotide in coding region of DNA can change the amino acid sequence encoded.
D) missense mutation means that the change in nucleotide sequence resulting in change in amino acid sequence encoded by gene.
E) A mutation may alter the promoter of a gene, thereby affecting the rate of transcription.
