Assume that a wild-type sequence is 5' AGCCTAC 3'.Which sequence could be produced by a transversion?
A)5' AGTCTAC 3'
B)5' AGCCGCCGCCGCCTAC 3'
C)5' AGCCCAC 3'
D)5' ATCCTAC 3'
E)5' AGCCTGC 3'

A transversion is a type of point mutation where a purine is replaced with a pyrimidine or vice versa. In the sequence 5' AGCCTAC 3', replacing the purine 'G' with the pyrimidine 'T' results in the sequence 5' ATCCTAC 3'.
