Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) is a change in a single nucleotide base pair in DNA. A transition is a type of point mutation that involves the substitution of a purine nucleotide (A or G) for another purine or a pyrimidine nucleotide (C or T) for another pyrimidine. Therefore, a transition mutation can result in a SNP.
