What is the result of a mutation during replication?
answers:
a-the strands are broken
b-the strands are different
c-the strands are identical
d-the strands are continuous

The correct answer is-

B-The strands are different.

Mutation can be described as the permanent change in the genetic material of an organism ( DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid).

Replication of DNA is a process by which a double stranded DNA molecule produces two molecules of DNA, which are identical to each other.

During this process, two DNA strands are first separated and act like a template strand. Using DNA template strand, enzyme DNA polymerase adds dNTPs ( deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate) and syntheisizes new strands of DNA.

If mutation occurs during replication, there will be a change in the nucleotide sequence of the newly synthesized strand, making the strands different.

Thus, option B) is the right answer.
