Question
Which of the following scenarios were most likely lead to a change in DNA that would increase genetic variation in the individuals offspring 
UV radiation mutates the skin cells of a pregnant mother, changing two G bases to T
bases.
An A - T base pair changes to a C - G base pair during mitosis in a liver cell of a young
man
AG-C base pair changes to an A - T base pair randomly during meiosis in a young
woman.
A virus inserts nine base pairs into a lung cell of an elderly man.
