Transposition results in the formation of base substitution mutations in a cell's DNA.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transposition is the movement of a DNA segment from one location to another in the genome. It does not typically result in base substitution mutations unless the process of insertion or excision of the transposable element disrupts a gene or regulatory element. However, it can cause other types of mutations such as deletions, duplications, or inversions.
