Question

When would a point mutation occur?

It can occur before and after cell division
Before the cell divides
After the cell divides
Before DNA replication

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option 1. Before and After Cell Division

Explanation:

Point mutations are frequently the result of mistakes made during DNA replication, although modification of DNA, such as through exposure to X-rays or to ultraviolet radiation, also can induce point mutations. But they may also occur after as well as before the division of a cell.
