In a particular cell, a non Watson-Crick base pair (T-G) is formed during DNA replication. What is likely to happen next?
Respuesta
Polymerase *probs* removes it, often via 3' exonuclease activity
Polymerase *probs* removes it, often via 5' exonuclease activity
Polymerase *probs* removes it, often via 3' endonuclease activity
Polymerase *probs* removes it, often via 5' endonuclease activity

How does a frameshift mutation differ from a missense mutation?
Respuesta
Missense affects many codons; Frameshift mutation does not.
Frameshift affects many codons; Missense mutation does not.
Frameshift affects many codons; Missense mutation only affects 3.

Pregunta
A mutation resulting in COPY NUMBER VARIATION can vary between identical twins. Therefore it happens during:
Gene expression of different members of a gene family varying in different parts of the same plant
Gene expression of different members of a gene family varying in different stages of the same plant's development
