Question

What kind of mutation is this?

Original DNA: ACGTAGC
Mutated DNA: ACGTGAGC
deletion
O addition
O point

Answer 1

Answer: Addition

Step-by-step explanation:

An additional base was added in the Mutated DNA. The original had 7 bases while the mutated has 8.

A deletion would obviously mean that the mutated DNA has less bases.

A point mutation is when a single nucleotide base is changed so there would be a difference in one of the letters in the mutated DNA.
