DNA Sequencing, Mutation and Repair - Medical Science

Q1:

Frame shift mutation may occur as a result of

A formation of a thymine-dimer

B deamination of cytosine to uracil

C conversion of guanine to xanthine

D none of the above

ANS:D - none of the above

Nucleotide change from guanine to xanthine can result in frameshift mutation as during translation it will not be considered.
