Abacterium undergoes mutation caused by an antibiotic. specifically, the gene with the sequence augcccacccga undergoes a frameshift mutation. which of these sequences represents the mutated gene?
auggccacccga
augacccacccga
augcccucccgu
? i really need .

The correct answer is the AUGACCCACCCGA sequence.

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation occurs when a mutation caused an insertion or deletion in a specific gene sequence that shifts the way the sequence is read. The deletion or insertion can change the reading frame that results in a different translation from the original because of the triplet nature of the codons.

A frameshift mutation is caused by deletion or insertion of a number of nucleotides in a DNA sequence that is not multiple of three. In AUGACCCACCCGA insertion of a nucleotide caused frameshift mutation.

Thus, the correct answer is the AUGACCCACCCGA sequence.

a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
