The correct response regarding the substitution of a cytosine base for a thymine base in a DNA segment during replication is:
The sequence could code for the wrong amino acid during translation.
This is because a substitution in the DNA sequence can lead to a different codon being formed during transcription and translation, which may result in the incorporation of a different amino acid into the protein, potentially altering its function.
