Mutations in the genetic code can occur when _____.

the DNA is carried from the nucleus to the ribosome

DNA duplicates and an amino acid is changed

amino acids are transported from the cytoplasm to ribosomes

the cell divides in to daughter cells

Respuesta :

D) the cell divides in to daughter cells. Mutations occur either when they multiply or when they are interrupted by something....Hope it helps ;) 

Answer:

The correct answer is option the cell divides in to daughter cells.

Explanation:

The mutation is the alteration or change in the sequence nitrogenous bases of DNA.

Mutation in DNA generally occurs by base substitution, insertion or deletion of nucleotide base pairs during the process of DNA replication, which takes place during S-phase of cell division.

Mutations in DNA are corrected by DNA proofreading mechanisms of enzyme DNA polymerase.

Thus, the cell divides into daughter cells is the correct answer.
