Question

the following question has two parts. first, answer part a. then, answer part b. part a the image shows an example of a deletion mutation. deletion original dna strand: ctgacag mutated dna strand: ctag when did this mutation most likely occur? a. before transcription b. during transcription c. during translation d. after translation part b

Explanation:

DNA mutations like deletions can occur during the process of transcription when the DNA sequence is being copied into RNA. Before transcription, the DNA is in its stable form. Translation is the process of making proteins from RNA and truncation refers to shortening of a protein or nucleic - acid sequence, not the time when a deletion mutation in DNA most likely occurs.

Answer:

B. during transcription
