Q: What type of mutation involves a change in a single nucleotide base pair?
Solution:
A point mutation involves a change in a single nucleotide base pair, which can affect protein synthesis.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what a mutation is. A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence.
Step 2: Learn about nucleotide base pairs. DNA is made up of building blocks called nucleotides, which pair together.
Step 3: Identify what a single nucleotide base pair is. It is one pair of these building blocks in the DNA sequence.
Step 4: Know what a point mutation is. A point mutation is when there is a change in just one of these nucleotide base pairs.
Step 5: Recognize the impact of point mutations. They can change how proteins are made in the body.
