What base is responsible for hot spots for spontaneous pint mutations?
Adenine
Guanine
5-bromouracil
5-methyl cytosine
In peal plants, yellow seeds are dominant to green. If a heterozygous yellow seeded plant is crossed with a green seeded plant, what ratio of yellow and green seeded plants could you expect in F1-generation
9 : 1
1 : 3
3 : 1
50 : 50
In a mutational event, when adenine is replaced by guanine, it is a case of
Frameshift mutation

Transition
Transition is substitution gene mutation in which a purine (adenine) is replaced by another purine (guanine) or a pyrimidine (thymine) is replaced by another pyrimidine cvytosine). Change of codon ATC to GTC or ATT or ACC is an example of transition.
Transversion in substitution gene mutation in which a purine (A or G) is replaced by a pyrimidine (T or C) or vice versa.

Pure tall plants are crossed with pure dwarf plants. In the F1 generation, all plants were tall. These tall plants of F1 generation were selfed and the ratio of tall to dwarf plants obtained was 3 : 1. This is called
dominance
