Given the following gene sequence, determine which of the choices would be a point mutation:
CATCGATGGATC
A. CATCGAGGATE
B. TACCGATGGATC
C. AATCGATGGATC
D. CATCGATTGGATC

Respuesta :

The answer is C because cytosine is replaced with adenine

The point mutation in the sequence CATCGATGGATC can be AATCGATGGATC. The correct option is C.

What is point mutation?

In a genome if only a single base pair is altered i.e.,  added, deleted or changed it will cause point mutation.

In the given sequence, CATCGATGGATC, First cytosine is replaced by adenine, AATCGATGGATC in which is representing point mutation.

Thus, the correct option is C.
