UV light exposure causes pyrimidine dimers to form in DNA. These dimers are: can give rise to frameshift mutations during a DNA replication event. none of the possible choices can give rise to point mutations during a transcriptional event. of no significant consequence when formed. interfere with protein synthesis in the ribosome.
