Q
Q: Which of the following mutations involves a change in a single nucleotide?
Solution:
A point mutation involves a change in a single nucleotide, which can lead to a different amino acid being incorporated into a protein.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what a mutation is. A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence.
Step 2: Learn about different types of mutations. There are several types, but we are focusing on point mutations.
Step 3: Know what a point mutation is. A point mutation is a change that occurs at a specific point in the DNA, affecting only one nucleotide.
Step 4: Recognize that a single nucleotide change can alter the amino acid sequence of a protein.
Step 5: Conclude that the question is asking for a mutation type that changes just one nucleotide, which is a point mutation.
