______________ is a kind of spontaneous mutation that results from a short-term, reversible phenomenon that leads to abnormal base pairing during DNA replications, followed by another round of DNA replication which results in one of the two daughter DNA molecules containing a point mutation. Group of answer choices Tautomeric shift Frameshift mutation Nonsense mutation Pyrimidine dimer Conditional mutation
DNA repair enzymes that correct deamination and depurination must preferentially recognize these defects on newly synthesized strands. Explain in 1-2 sentences.
Although most cases of cystic fibrosis are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, it possible that cystic fibrosis can arise spontaneously in some patients. Determine whether each of the scenarios below is most consistent with inherited or spontaneous CFTR mutations. Errors in CFTR were introduced in [ Choose ] replication. [ Choose ] Both parents carry the same mutation. Spontaneous mutation Inherited mutation Not every cell of the patient has the [ Choose ] mutation. One parent has two normal copies of [ Choose ] CFTR. Cousins also have the same CFTR [ Choose ] mutation. > >
