The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the types of point mutations (A to G, C to T, C to G, T to A) in DNA, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Point Mutation**: - Point mutations are changes that occur at a single nucleotide position in the DNA sequence. They can result in the substitution of one base for another. 2. **Identify the Types of Nucleotide Bases**: - Nucleotides in DNA are classified into two categories: - **Purines**: Adenine (A) and Guanine (G) - **Pyrimidines**: Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T) 3. **Classify the Given Mutations**: - We need to analyze each mutation provided in the question: - **A to G**: Both A and G are purines. This is a **transition mutation**. - **C to T**: Both C and T are pyrimidines. This is also a **transition mutation**. - **C to G**: C is a pyrimidine and G is a purine. This is a **transversion mutation**. - **T to A**: T is a pyrimidine and A is a purine. This is also a **transversion mutation**. 4. **Summarize the Types of Mutations**: - Based on the analysis: - A to G: Transition - C to T: Transition - C to G: Transversion - T to A: Transversion 5. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the types of mutations for the given changes are: - Transition, Transition, Transversion, Transversion. ### Answer: The point mutations A to G, C to T, C to G, T to A in DNA are classified as: - Transition, Transition, Transversion, Transversion.

Statement 1: If both functions f(t)a n dg(t) are continuous on the closed interval [a,b], differentiable on the open interval (a,b) and g^(prime)(t) is not zero on that open interval, then there exists some c in (a , b) such that (f^(prime)(c))/(g^(prime)(c))=(f(b)-f(a))/(g(b)-g(a)) Statement 2: If f(t)a n dg(t) are continuous and differentiable in [a, b], then there exists some c in (a,b) such that f^(prime)(c)=(f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)a n dg^(prime)(c)(g(b)-g(a))/(b-a) from Lagranges mean value theorem.
