One strand of a DNA molecule has the base sequence 5’-GGTCAGCAT-3’. The complementary base sequence on the other strand of DNA will be 3’-GTGAAT-5’. Identify if the follow would or would not be likely to cause a mutation:
-addition of nucleotides to the 3’ end of the growing strand
-insertion of a mismatched nucleotide into a DNA strand
-unwinding of the DNA strand
-synthesis of short stretches of DNA

Read this summary of a scientific theory: "cells are the most basic structural and functional units of life. all living organisms are made up of one or more cells. all cells that are alive in the world today came from pre-existing cells." which of the following would require this theory to be modified? -a.) a survey finds that a majority of people believe viruses carry out the basic processes of life. -b.) a prominent scientist says she feels strongly that one day the theory will be challenged by life on other planets. -c.) the dna of unicellular and multi-cellular organisms is shown to have many fundamental similarities. -d.) scientific observations show that microscopic organisms living in the deep ocean are not made up of cells.
