Sure, let's match each changed nucleotide sequence to the type of mutation that causes it. Here is the detailed, step-by-step solution:
1. Deletion mutation: This is when one or more nucleotides are removed from the sequence.
- Original Sequence: CATTCACACG
- Changed Sequence: CATTCACG
- Here, the deletion removes the nucleotides "AC" from the original sequence.
2. Insertion mutation: This is when one or more nucleotides are added to the sequence.
- Original Sequence: CATTCACACG
- Changed Sequence: CATTCACACCACG
- Here, the insertion adds the nucleotides "CAC" into the original sequence.
3. Inversion mutation: This is when a segment of the nucleotide sequence is flipped or reversed.
- Original Sequence: CATTCACACG
- Changed Sequence: CATTGCACAC
- Here, the segment "TGCAC" appears to be inverted in comparison to the original sequence.
4. Duplication mutation: This is when a segment of the nucleotide sequence is repeated.
- Original Sequence: CATTCACACG
- Changed Sequence: CATTCACACA
- Here, we notice that "CA" is repeated after the normal sequence, indicating duplication.
5. Substitution mutation: This is when one or more nucleotides in the sequence are replaced with different nucleotides.
- Original Sequence: CATTCACACG
- Changed Sequence: CATTTCACACG
- Here, the nucleotide "T" has substituted the original "A" in the original sequence.
Now, placing these in the table:
\begin{tabular}{|c|l|l|}
\hline Type of Mutation & \begin{tabular}{l}
Original Nucleotide \\
Sequence
\end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{l}
Changed Nucleotide \\
Sequence
\end{tabular} \\
\hline deletion & CATTCACACG & CATTCACG \\
\hline insertion & CATTCACACG & CATTCACACCACG \\
\hline inversion & CATTCACACG & CATTGCACAC \\
\hline duplication & CATTCACACG & CATTCACACA \\
\hline substitution & CATTCACACG & CATTTCACACG \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
By matching these correctly, we can see how each type of mutation changes the original nucleotide sequence.
