The most accurate response to the substitution of a cytosine base for a thymine base in a DNA segment during DNA replication is:
The sequence could code for the wrong amino acid during translation.
This is because the change in the nucleotide sequence may lead to a different codon during transcription and translation, potentially resulting in a different amino acid being incorporated into a protein, which could affect the protein's function.
