Interpretation: The consequences of one base for another substituted in DNA with example is to be explained.
Concept introduction: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that stores genetic information. It contains the instructions for constructing other large molecules, which are known as proteins.
Answer to Problem 69A
Mutations can be caused by substituting one base for another in the DNA sequence. This can impact the cell's nature, shape, or quality.
Explanation of Solution
DNA provides the cell with the instructions necessary to make proteins. The cells are instructed to make distinct proteins based on the DNA sequences that they contain. Mutations are caused when there is an alteration in the DNA's sequence due to substituting one of its bases. This can impact the cell's characteristics, including its type, shape, or quality.
