Contrast and compare the mutagenic effects of deaminating agents, alkylating agents, and base analogs.

Hey everyone, Let's take a look at this question together. The five bromo uracil is an artificially generated molecule that can be incorporated into the D. N. A. Since it highly resembles thing, I mean it can replace the thigh means position in the D. N. A. Sequence which type of mutagenic agent does five bromo uracil belong to. So let's recall what we know about different types of mutagenic agents to figure out which one best represents by Bruno uracil in this example. So we know that in this case the mutagenic agent by Bruno uracil resembles thiamine and is used to replace the timings position in the DNA sequence. Which we know that when we're dealing with a mutagenic agent that resembles D. N. A. Bases that cause those mutations that replace the correct base in the sequence. We're talking about a base analog or answer choice B. The correct answer. Because those mutagenic agents that resemble the DNA bases that cause mutations to replace the correct base in the sequence which in this case we're talking about five A uracil which resembles timing and is used to replace timing in the D. N. A. Sequence. We're talking about a base analog mutagenic agent or answer choice B. The correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye
