Answer:
7. Substitution mutation
8. Substitution mutation
9. Frameshift mutation
Explanation:
A substitution mutation is any kind of mutation that involves replacement of one or more nucleotide base by another in a sequence.
A frameshift mutation, on the other hand, is a mutation that changes the reading frame of the sequence. Two types of mutations cause frameshift viz: insertion and deletion mutation.
In the following sequences, mutation has occured as follows:
7. UGU-CCG-GAA-CGA to UGC-CGG-GAA-CGA - Substitution mutation has occured because nucleotides C and G has replaced C and U in the first and second codons respectively.
8. GAA-CGU-AGC-GGU to GAU-CGU-AGC-GGU- A substitution mutation because nucleotide U has replaced A in the first codon.
9. UGU-UUC-CCU-UAA to UGU-UCC-CUU-AA - A frameshift mutation because nucleotide U has been removed from the second codon, hence, causing a change in the reading frame.
