A DNA strand that originally reads 5'-GATATC-3' undergoes a mutation that changes it to 5'- GATCATC-3'. This is an example of what type of mutation?

ANSWER: A. Insertion

Insertion is a type of mutation where there is an extra nucleotide bases added or inserted on the chain. In this case, one Cytosine (C) is added between the Thymine and Adenine bases.

  • Original strand: 5'-GATATC-3'
  • Mutated strand: 5'- GATCATC-3'
