D) adenine, guanine, and cytosine.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Replication, transcription, and translation are all biochemical processes related to DNA and RNA, but they are not types of genetic changes. A to C, G to C, and U to A are types of base changes, but they don't represent all types of genetic changes. Adenine, guanine, and cytosine are DNA bases, but they don't categorize genetic changes either. mutations, SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms), and changes in copy number are all types of genetic changes. Mutations are changes in DNA sequence, SNPs are variations in a single nucleotide of DNA, and changes in copy number refer to the number of copies of a particular gene or DNA region.
