Match the changed nucleotide sequences to the mutations that cause them.

Changed Nucleotide Sequences:
1. CATTCACACA
2. CATTCACACCACG
3. CATTGCACAC

Type of Mutation:
A. Deletion
B. Insertion
C. Inversion
D. Duplication
E. Substitution



Answer :

Sure, let's match each changed nucleotide sequence with the appropriate mutation type from the provided sequences.

You have given three changed sequences to match:

1. CATTCACACA
2. CATTCACACCACG
3. CATTGCACAC

The original sequence for reference is "CATTCACACG".

Let's match them:

### Mutation Analysis

1. Deletion
- Original Sequence: "CATTCACACG"
- Changed Sequence: "CATTCACG" (one nucleotide "A" is deleted)

2. Insertion
- Original Sequence: "CATTCACACG"
- Changed Sequence: "CATTTCACACG" (one nucleotide "T" is inserted)

3. Duplication
- Original Sequence: "CATTCACACG"
- Changed Sequence: "CATTCACACCACG" (sequence "CAC" is duplicated)

4. Substitution
- Original Sequence: "CATTCACACG"
- Changed Sequence: "CATTGCACAC" (one nucleotide "A" is substituted with "G")

5. Inversion
- Original Sequence: "CATTCACACG"
- Changed Sequence: Since there is no inversion sequence given, we leave this blank.

Now, place the mutation types and sequences accordingly in the table:
