One Group Of Chemical Mutagens Includes The Base Analogs. How Do These Lead To Mutations?

A. Base analogs push apart and distort the double helix. This distortion can lead to insertions and deletions (including frameshift mutations) B. When replication occurs, complementary base pairing may fail because the base analog may not be treated in the same way as the base that it replaced C. They lead to the formation of pyrimidine dimers D. They lead to alkylation, which can lead to substitutions
