Methylation of cytosine increases the transition mutation of cytosine to __________

Methylation of cytosine increases the transition mutation of cytosine to __________ Correct Answer Thymine

The methylation of cytosine increases the transition mutation of cytosine to thymine. This is caused by the process of deamination of the 5-methyl-cytosine residue.
