A chemist synthesizes three new chemical compounds in the laboratory and names them as X, Y and Z. After analysis mutagenic potential of all these compounds, the geneticist observed that all are highly mutagenic. The geneticist also tested the potential of mutations induced by these compounds to be mutations induced by these compounds to be reversed by other known mutagens and obtained the following results.

Choose Your Answer:

AX causes transversion; Y causes transition; Z causes single base deletion.

BX causes transition; Y causes transversion; Z causes single base deletion.

CX causes transition; Y causes single base deletion; z causes transversion.

DX causes transversion; Y causes single base deletion; z causes transition.
