Which of the following best describes how a cell’s DNA can change through mutations?

DNA segments from broken-down prokaryotic cells are taken in and incorporated into the DNA of living cells.

A virus takes in a segment of DNA from one bacterial cell and inserts it into another bacterial cell.

A bridgelike connection forms between two prokaryotic cells, through which genetic information is transferred.

Changes in a cell’s DNA sequences occur during replication, and those changes are passed on to daughter cells.

aaronq · Answer

if you define mutation, the answer will be clear

anonymous · Answer

mutations are accidental changes in a genomic sequence of DNA: the DNA sequence of a cell's genome or the DNA or RNA sequence in some viruses

anonymous · Answer

so is it B ? im confused...

aaronq · Answer

nope, HINT: mutations happen usually as a cell is undergoing mitosis...

anonymous · Answer

D ?

aaronq · Answer

yep !
