Transversion mutation

The base pair mutations are the most common type of mutations. These can be further categorised into two types

(a) Transitions, i.e. in which a purine base is replaced by another purine and pyrimidine is replaced by
another pyrimidine.

(b) Transversion, ie those in which a purine (guanine) is replaced by a pyrimidine (cytosine) and vice-versa.
