Classify the examples as representative of transition, transversion, or nsertion/deletion mutations.

All of the following are factors that influence the mutation rate of a gene EXCEPT: O repetitive nucleotide sequences size of the gene spontaneous chemical changes: C/G base pairs are more likely to mutate than A/T pairs O all of these factors influence gene mutation rates exposure to environmental triggersarrow_forward
