Question

There are several ways that a mutation may occur. Which of the following is not a way for a mutation to occur during the DNA replication (copying) process?


A. Sections of genes can be removed.


B. Sections of genes may be added.


C. All of the organism’s genes are removed.


D. An entire gene may be reversed.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. All of the organism’s genes are removed.

Explanation:

Mutation does not occur during DNA replication or copying process by removing all of the organism's gene. This is quite impossible.

Mutation is term registered in genetics. They are the changes that occurs to genes when being copied or sometimes as a result of imparting environmental factors like exposures to ultraviolet radiation.

• Genes can mutate when sections are mistakenly removed or added.
• Also, when entire gene is reversed, genes can mutate too.

Genes do not mutate by removing all of them. It is biologically inconsistent.
