Lily is conducting an experiment on DNA mutations in her biology class. If she discovers that there is a missing or an extra base at the end of her mutated DNA sample, what type of mutation occurred?

• Substitution

• Frameshift

• Duplication

• Insertion

In a biology class, Emma is learning about the differences between RNA and DNA. How does RNA differ from DNA?

• RNA contains uracil and deoxyribose

• RNA contains ribose and thymine
