good GG its B. A mutation is a permanent change in a DNA molecule, and single base pair changes are referred to as point mutations. A transversion is a point mutation in which a purine base is substituted for a pyrimidine base, and a pyrimidine is substituted for a purine (e.g., CG changed to GC or AT). A transition is a point mutation in which a purine is substituted for the other purine, and a pyrimidine is substituted for the other pyrimidine (e.g., GC changed to AT or AT changed to GC). Insertions and deletions can involve any number of base pairs.
