Sure, let's step through the problem and identify the type of mutation for each changed nucleotide sequence.
1. Original nucleotide sequence: CATTCACACG
2. Changed sequences and their mutations:
- CATTCACACA
- CATTCACACCACG
- CATTTCACACE
- CATTCACG
- CATTGCACAC
We will match each changed nucleotide sequence to its respective mutation type based on the characteristics of the changes.
### Analysis of Each Changed Sequence
#### 1. Changed Sequence: CATTCACACA
- This sequence differs from the original sequence "CATTCACACG" by only one nucleotide at the end (G -> A).
- The mutation here is classified as substitution.
#### 2. Changed Sequence: CATTCACACCACG
- This sequence is longer than the original. The additional segment "CACG" suggests that a segment has been added.
- The mutation here is classified as insertion.
#### 3. Changed Sequence: CATTTCACACE
- This sequence has multiple changes. It shows that multiple nucleotides have been replaced or added.
- The mutation here is classified as substitution.
#### 4. Changed Sequence: CATTCACG
- This sequence is shorter than the original sequence "CATTCACACG" by removing the segment "AC".
- The mutation here is classified as deletion.
#### 5. Changed Sequence: CATTGCACAC
- This sequence differs from the original due to changes at certain positions resulting in different nucleotides.
- The mutation here is classified as substitution.
### Mutation Table Completion
| Type of Mutation | Original Nucleotide Sequence | Changed Nucleotide Sequence |
|------------------|------------------------------|-----------------------------|
| deletion | CATTCACACG | CATTCACG |
| insertion | CATTCACACG | CATTCACACCACG |
| substitution | CATTCACACG | CATTCACACA |
| substitution | CATTCACACG | CATTTCACACE |
| substitution | CATTCACACG | CATTGCACAC |
The given answer results in the following match-ups:
1. CATTCACACA is a substitution.
2. CATTCACACCACG is an insertion.
3. CATTTCACACE is an substitution.
4. CATTCACG is a deletion.
5. CATTGCACAC is a substitution.
Thus, the final summary of the mutations for the given sequences is:
- CATTCACACA: substitution
- CATTCACACCACG: insertion
- CATTTCACACE: substitution
- CATTCACG: deletion
- CATTGCACAC: substitution
