Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Deletion- CATTCACG

Insertion- CATTCACACCACG

Inversion- CATTGCACAC

Duplication- CATTTCACACG

Substitution- CATTCACACA

Explanation:

Mutation is any change that occurs in the genetic material (DNA). This change can be of varying types depending on how it occurs.

According to the question, the original nuceleotide sequence is CATTCACACG

1. Deletion- This is a kind of mutation in which one or more nuceleotide base is removed from the sequence. In this question, the bases CA were deleted from the sequence to have: CATTCACG

2. Insertion- Insertion is a mutation involving the addition of extra base pairs into the nuceleotide sequence. In this case, bases CCA were added to the sequence to have: CATTCACACCACG

3. Inversion- This kind of mutation occurs when the segment of a gene breaks off and reattaches in a reversed manner. In this case, CACACG breaks off and reattaches as GCACAC to form a sequence: CATTGCACAC

4. Duplication- This is when one or more nuceleotide bases is replicated or doubled in the sequence. In this case, nuceleotide base T was doubled to form: CATTTCACACG

5. Substitution- This is a mutation whereby one or more base is replaced by another in the sequence. In this case, Guanine (G) is replaced by Adenine (A) to form: CATTCACACA
