Which Base Would Be Added Opposite This Rare Tautomer During Dna Replication?

rgo a tautomeric shift. Tautomers have the same chemical composition, but the hydrogen atom is in a different position. This change can result in different hydrogen bonding configurations. Stable common tautomeric forms make up the standard base pairing rules (A-T and G-C). Rare unstable tautomers have altered base pairing rules, which can lead to T pairs with G and A pairs with C. Use this partial DNA sequence (the original sequence with no mutations) to answer the following three questions. 5' - C A A - 3' 3' - G T T - 5' Suppose that a transient tautomeric shift occurred in the guanine base to produce a rare tautomer in the partial DNA sequence just prior to a round of DNA replication. Which base would be added opposite this rare tautomer during DNA replication? a. A b. C c. G d. U e. T
