What would be the result of a cytosine base being substituted for a thymine base in a DNA segment during DNA replication?(1 point) Responses The cytosine base would pair with adenine when the DNA was replicated. The cytosine base would pair with adenine when the DNA was replicated. The sequence could code for the wrong amino acid during translation. The sequence could code for the wrong amino acid during translation. There would be no effect on the DNA. There would be no effect on the DNA. The entire segment of DNA would be affected.

The correct response is: The sequence could code for the wrong amino acid during translation.
When a cytosine base is substituted for a thymine base during DNA replication, it can lead to a change in the genetic code if the substitution occurs in a coding region. This may result in a different amino acid being incorporated into a protein during translation, potentially affecting the protein's function.
