A strand of DNA in a skin cell contains the bases: A-T-G-C-C-A-T-C-G-G-T-A After the cell is exposed to ultraviolet light, the strand contains the bases: A-T-G-G-C-C-A-T-C-G-G-T-A Which statement describes the result of this exposure?a. A new base has been inserted. b. A base has been deleted. c. One base has been substituted for another. d. There have been no changes in the bases.

Explanation:

1. As given, the of a strand DNA contain sequence;

A-T-G-C-C-A-T-C-G-G-T-A,

2. After exposure to UV light, the strand contain the bases;

A-T-G-G*-C-C-A-T-C-G-G-T-A,

3. By comparing both the strands, we find that, the strand of DNA after exposure to UV contain extra G nucleotide between G and C, which is resulted by an insertion.

So we can say that, a new base has been inserted.
