Question

A normal gene sequence in a chromosomal sequence is ABCDEFGH; if it is changed to ACGH, this is a case of
A. Frameshift mutations
B. Deletions
C. Inversions
D. Duplication

Answer 1

Hint: Chromosomal aberrations could lead to various disorders in organisms. They are mainly of four types. The most common disorder caused by this aberration is Cat Cry syndrome".

Complete answer: The deletion could be a form of mutation involving the loss of genetic material. It is often little, involving one missing polymer nucleotide, or large, involving a bit of a body. From the normal gene sequence “ABCDEFGH”, four genes have been deleted, which includes BDEF. When parts of chromosomes are deleted, a number of syndromes can occur. These syndromes are called chromosomal deletion syndromes. They tend to cause birth defects and limited intellectual development and physical development. In some cases, defects can be severe and affected children die during infancy or childhood.
Inversion: If 2 breaks occur in one body, generally the region between the breaks rotates a hundred and eighty degrees before rejoining with the two finish fragments. Such an occurrence creates a genetic mutation known as associate degree inversion.
ii. Duplication could be a form of mutation that involves the assembly of one or additional copies of a cistron or region of a body. Cistron duplications are particularly distinguished among plants. Cistron duplication is a very important mechanism by which evolution occurs.
Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Note: Deletion causes certain disorders such as "Cat Cry syndrome", It is a syndrome that has symptoms such as high-pitched cry, poor muscle tone, a small head size, and low birth weight. It causes a delay in walking, problems with feeding, hyperactivity, scoliosis, and severe intellectual disability.
