After using a chemical mutagen to generate mutations in a dna sequence, scientists noted a mutation from c to t at the 10th position within the coding region of a gene. this mutation led to a change of proline into serine at the fourth position in the resulting peptide. using this information and the sequences listed below, select all the types of mutations that occurred.

substitution, missense mutation, and transition

Explanation:

A mutation is any change in the genetic information of an organism. A substitution is a point mutation by which a single nucleotide base pair is replaced by a different nucleotide. Moreover, a missense mutation is a point mutation that results in the incorporation of a different amino acid in the polypeptide chain since this mutation generates a new codon which codes for a different amino acid. Finally, a transition is a point mutation where a purine (either Adenine or Guanine) is changed to another purine, or a pyrimidine (either Thymine or Cytosine) is changed to another pyrimidine (in this case, Cytosine is changed to Thymine).
