Deamination and mispairing of modified bases by a chemical mutagen.

Tags
Description
Nitrous acid changes cytosine to uracil, and adenine to hypoxanthine by replacing NH2 with an oxygen. During DNA replication, uracil will pair with adenine, and hypoxanthine will pair with cytosine. These incorrect bases will create mutations in the newly replicated strand.
