Answer:
Option C, Point Mutation
Explanation:
The complete question is
Changes in the tautomer state of nucleotides will most often lead to
A. inversions.
B. reciprocal translocations.
C. point mutations.
D. duplications.
E. deletions.
Solution
Tautomerization is a form of mutation in which tautomer isomer binds with an incorrect base thereby causing a defect in replication base. This defect rises due to the inter-convertible isomer of a nucleotide base. Tautomeric shift generally produces alternate forms of nucleotide base.
For example –
Amino gets converted to imino form of A & C and keto gets converted to enol forms of G and T
Hence, option C is correct
