OpenStudy (anonymous):

those are the choices... anyone know??

OpenStudy (bohotness):

i dont i am sorry

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Do you know what a point mutation is, first of all. You need to understand what that is so you can answer that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, I don't. Can you explain? @abb0t

OpenStudy (abb0t):

A point mutation, or single base substitution, is a type of mutation that causes the replacement of a single base nucleotide with another nucleotide of the genetic material, DNA or RNA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does this have anything to do with A pairs with T and G with C? @abb0t

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Read what I wrote.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

single base substitution...replacement of a \(\sf single~ base\) nucleotide with another nucleotide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, C? @abb0t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@abb0t please help

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

look for a SINGLE base that is different from the original one given to you so there should be ONE that is different out of 6
