Answer: The mutation is substitution.
Explanation:
There are three main types of mutation:
Substitution, deletion, and insertion.
We would be able to tell right away if the second sequence had an insertion or deletion, because it would have a different number of letters than first sequence. However, it does not. Both sequences have 12 letters.
But, the 8th letter in the first sequence (T) is different from the 8th letter in the second sequence (A).
This is substitution.
A mutation in a plant that could cause negative outcomes could be the plant has less leaves, or isn't hardy enough, like other plants. It would die. A plant from an area like Chernobyl, that has been affected by radiation could poison other animals, or pass that gene along, and ultimately kill that strand of plant.
