Transversion

speak

Transversion is a type of genetic mutation that involves the substitution of a base in a DNA molecule with a different base from the purine family (adenine or guanine) with a pyrimidine base (cytosine or thymine, or; in RNA, uracil or thymine).

A trapezium, also known as a trapezoid, is a type of quadrilateral with four sides. It is defined by having two pairs of parallel sides, with the parallel sides being the bases of the trapezium.

Trapeziums have the following properties:<br><br>- It has four sides.<br>- Two of the sides are parallel to each other.<br>- The other two sides are non-parallel (legs).<br>- The angles of the trapezium can be acute, right, or obtuse.<br>- The sum of the interior angles of the trapezium is always 360 degrees.<br><br>Trapeziums are classified into different types, such as:<br><br>- Isosceles trapezium: Two of its non-parallel sides (legs) are equal in length.<br>- Unequal trapezium: Both non-parallel sides are of different lengths.<br>- Scalene trapezium: All sides are of different lengths.
