Question

What type of mutation occurred in the following example?

Original DNA: CAT GAT
New DNA: CAT AT

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot]

In this example, a deletion mutation occurred, where the "G" nucleotide was removed from the original DNA sequence.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

The type of mutation that occurred in this example is deletion mutation.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

In this example, there is a deletion mutation, specifically the deletion of the nucleotide sequence "GAT" in the new DNA compared to the original DNA. A deletion mutation occurs when one or more nucleotides are removed from the DNA sequence. It can lead to a shift in the reading frame of the genetic code, potentially resulting in significant changes to the resulting protein.
