Transversion
| Starting base | mutation | |
|---|---|---|
| A. | → | C / T |
| C. | → | A / G |
| G | → | C / T |
| T | → | A / G |
In genetics, transversion is a point mutation in which a pyrimidine base is exchanged for a purine base or vice versa.
If, on the other hand, a purine base is exchanged for a purine base, or a pyrimidine base for a pyrimidine base, it is a transition .
