Total number of transition and transversion that can take place in genome is___________ Correct Answer 4 and 8
Transition is the replacement of a purine by another purine or a pyrimidine by another pyrimidine. Transversion is the replacement of a purine by a pyrimidine, or a pyrimidine by a purine. So there are 4 possible transition A—G and C— T, and 8 possible transversions A—C, A—T, G—C, G—T.
