Original DNA: AATCGCCAMutuated DNA: AATCACCAWhat type of mutation is this?ResponsesPoint mutationPoint mutationInverse mutationInverse mutationReverse mutationReverse mutationGene mutationGene mutation
Solution
This is a point mutation. In this case, it is specifically a missense mutation, where one nucleotide is changed and therefore one amino acid in the resulting protein is changed. This can potentially alter the function of the protein.
