Let's carefully match each changed nucleotide sequence to the type of mutation causing it, based on the given data. Here's the process I'll follow to identify the mutations:
Original Nucleotide Sequence:
CATTCACACG
Changed Sequences and possible mutations:
### 1. Deletion
The removal of one or more nucleotides from the sequence.
- Changed Sequence: CATTCACACA
- Here, "G" is missing from the original sequence.
### 2. Insertion
The addition of one or more nucleotides into the sequence.
- Changed Sequence: CATTCACACCACG
- Here, "CAC" is inserted into the sequence.
### 3. Inversion
A segment of the nucleotide sequence is reversed.
- Changed Sequence: CATTGCACAC
- Here, "CA" from the middle of the original sequence is reversed to "GC".
### 4. Substitution
One nucleotide is replaced by another.
- Changed Sequence: CATTTCACACG
- Here, "C" is substituted by "T".
### 5. Duplication
A segment of the nucleotide sequence is copied and inserted right after the original segment.
- Changed Sequence: CATTCACACACACG
- Here, "CACAC" is duplicated.
Finally, let's fill in the table:
