Starting with a population of genetically identical mice, you discover two new independent mutant strains in which all of the animals have epileptic seizures. in both strains, you know that the epileptic seizures are due to a single dna mutation. you cross a mutant mouse from one strain to a mutant mouse from the second strain and find that none of their many offspring undergo spontaneous seizures. from this experiment you would conclude that the two mutant strains of mice most likely have mutations in:

Had to look for the options and here is my answer. Based on the given experimentation above regarding some genetically identical mice, you would conclude that the two mutant strains of mice would most likely possess mutations in " the same gene, but not necessarily the same DNA base position". Hope this answers your question.
