Question

A normal allele for a gene has more base pairs than the mutated form of the allele. Which type of mutation occurred?

O base pair separation
O base pair insertion
O base pair substitution
O base pair deletion

Answer 1

Answer:Base Pair Deletion

Step-by-step explanation:

We know this because it is stated that the normal gene has more base pairs than the mutated gene. In other words, the mutated gene has less base pairs than the normal gene, which means that base pairs must have been deleted during the mutation.

Answer 2

Answer: Base Pair Deletion

Step-by-step explanation:

If the normal allele has more than the mutated then that means nucleotides were lost so a deletion occurred.
