The mutation resulting in the lacIs allele is most likely of this type:
a) deletion of the entire lacI region
b) missense = single base substitution, changes from one codon to another
c) deletion of the first half of the lacI region
d) nonsense = single base substitution, forms a stop codon
e) frameshift
E - frameshift,
because In the 1970s, Jeffrey Miller and his co-workers examined mutational hot spots in the lacI gene of E. coli , hot spots are the sites in the lacI gene that are much more mutable than other sites.
Step-by-step explanation
the frequency of a particular frameshift depends on the number of base pairs that can form during the slipped mispairing of repeated sequences. In the lacI gene mutation can slip out and stabilize structure by forming new base pairs that are mispaired and repeated sequence.
