Exposure to various chemicals can cause DNA mutations. Sort the phrases below as transition, transversion, or insertion/deletion mutations. Note: If you answer any part of this question incorrectly, a single red X will appear indicating that you sorted one or more of the phrases incorrectly Transition Transversion Insertion/Deletion replacement of A:T with T:A oxidative deamination via nitrous the removal of one acid causes this type of mutation or more base pairs replacement of A: T with G C treatment with acridine orange treatment with dimethyl sulfate causes this type of mutation causes this type of mutation treatment with 5-bromouracil causes the replacement of A: T with G:C

Answer 1

Transistion	Transversion	Insertion / deletion
Replacement of A: T with G:C	replacement of A:T with T:A	Treatment with acridine causes this type of mutation.
Treatment with 5- bromouracil causes the replacement of A:T with G:C		The removal of one or more gene pairs.
Oxidative deamination via nitrous acid causes this type of mutation.
Treatment with dimethyl sulfide causes this type of mutation.

Because transition is defined as the mutation in which purine is replaced by purine( Adenine, guanine) nd pyrimidine is replaced by pyrimidine ( cytosine, thymine and uracil)
