Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ a point mutation ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ A change from one base to another in the DNA sequence is known as a point mutation. This type of mutation affects only a single nucleotide and can result in a change in the amino acid sequence during protein synthesis. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Point Mutation ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The substitution of one base for another, such as an adenine (A) being replaced by a guanine (G), is a classic example of a point mutation. This is a type of mutation that involves a change in a single nucleotide pair in the DNA sequence. ⚹◊What is the specific term used to describe the change from an $A$ base to a $G$ base in a chromosome?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
