If a mutation causes the "T" base in the base sequence 5'-AGTCCG-3' to be read as a "G" base,DNA replication of the mutated sequence will read:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the "T" base is mutated into a "G" base in the original sequence of 5'-AGTCCG-3', then the new sequence would be 5'-AGGCCG-3'. The complementary strand in DNA replication would read 3'-TCCGGC-5'. Therefore, option D is the correct choice. Option A and C are incorrect as they include an incorrect nucleotide base "U" instead of a "T" base. Option B is incorrect as it does not include the original mutation. Option E is incorrect as it includes the original sequence without the mutation.
