Answer :

Let's match the given changed nucleotide sequences to their respective mutations:

1. Deletion Mutation: In a deletion mutation, one or more nucleotides are removed from the DNA sequence.
- Original sequence: `CATTCACACG`
- Changed sequence: `CATTCACG`

Sequence `CATTCACG` results from removing the nucleotides `AC` from the original sequence `CATTCACACG`.

2. Insertion Mutation: In an insertion mutation, additional nucleotides are inserted into the DNA sequence.
- Original sequence: `CATTCACACG`
- Changed sequence: `CATTCACACCACG`

Sequence `CATTCACACCACG` is derived from inserting `CACAC` into the original sequence `CATTCACACG`.

3. Inversion Mutation: In an inversion mutation, a segment of the DNA sequence is reversed.
- Original sequence: `CATTCACACG`
- Changed sequence: `CATTECACAC`

Sequence `CATTECACAC` likely arises from reversing a segment `A` or changing `A` to `E` creating a similar pattern but with a change in the nucleotide order.

Based on the provided sequences, let's fill in the table appropriately:

[tex]\[ \begin{array}{|c|l|c|} \hline \text{Type of Mutation} & \begin{array}{l} \text{Original Nucleotide}\\ \text{Sequence} \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text{Changed Nucleotide}\\ \text{Sequence} \end{array} \\ \hline \text{deletion} & \text{CATTCACACG} & \text{CATTCACG} \\ \hline \text{insertion} & \text{CATTCACACG} & \text{CATTCACACCACG} \\ \hline \text{inversion} & \text{CATTCACACG} & \text{CATTECACAC} \\ \hline \end{array} \][/tex]

Hence, the correctly matched sequences are:
- Deletion: `CATTCACG`
- Insertion: `CATTCACACCACG`
- Inversion: `CATTECACAC`

Some present sequences (`CATTCACACA` and `CATTTCACACG`) do not fit within the described mutation types based on the given solution.
