Answer 2

Which do you think it is? Why or why not? It would be easier to tutor you if you explained what about the question is giving you trouble.

Answer 3

I think that It is substitution but I don't understand the concepts of each choice like I don't understand how to recognize what type of mutation it is

Answer 4

its either substitution or insertion but im not sure

Answer 5

base substitution is when one or more base pair is replaced with some other base pair

Answer 6

GCA -----> GTA
CGU -----> CAU

Answer 7

rest of the frame work is same. isn't it ?

Answer 8

yes, so it is substitution?

Answer 9

yep, it is !
