Question

The wild type of allele for a gene has more pairs than the mutated form of allele what type of mutation A. a base pare of deletion B. base pair substitution C. base pair seperation D. base pair insertion

Answer 1

A. a base pare of deletion

Explanation:

A base pair deletion is a mutation where one nucleotide is removed during DNA replication. The base-pair deletions produce frameshift mutations, i.e., they cause genetic modifications that alter the Open Reading Frame (ORF) of the corresponding protein. Examples of human diseases caused by deletion mutations include, among others, cystic fibrosis and Williams syndrome.
