Change in sequence of nucleotides in DNA is called as -
A
Mutagen
B
Mutation
C
Recombination
D
Translation
Detailed Solution
A mutation is a sudden heritable change in the genetic material, i.e. a change in the nucleotide (base) sequence of DNA, such as substitution, insertion or deletion of bases.
A mutagen is the agent (e.g. UV rays, X-rays, chemicals) that causes mutation.
Recombination is the reshuffling of existing genes, and translation is protein synthesis.
So a change in the sequence of nucleotides in DNA is called mutation.
