Answer:

Option). duplication.

Explanation:

Mutations are permanent changes in DNA, due to change in its nucleotide sequence. A mutation that occurs due to replication or duplication of a portion of genetic material is known as duplication.  

As altered sequence in given bacterium represents duplication of three guanine nucleotides, the type of mutation that caused this sequence change is duplication.

Original sequence: act<u>ggg</u>atcct

Altered sequence:  atcggggggatcct

Thus, the correct answer is 'duplication.'

Answer:

As a negative guide, to demonstrate that perhaps the injection itself has no impact on the cell cycle.

A successful experiment has handled the same control group as the experimental group with the exception of the variable being examined, in this case the cytoplasm M-phase.
