Answer :
Let's match the changed nucleotide sequences to the appropriate types of mutations based on the given options.
Original Nucleotide Sequence: CATTCACACG
1. Deletion:
- Definition: A piece of DNA is removed.
- Changed Sequence: CATTCACG (CAC is missing)
2. Insertion:
- Definition: An extra piece of DNA is inserted.
- Changed Sequence: CATTCACACCACG (ACC inserted after CAC)
3. Inversion:
- Definition: A piece of DNA is flipped in orientation.
- Changed Sequence: CATTGCACAC (AC swapped with GC)
4. Duplication:
- Definition: A piece of DNA is duplicated.
- Changed Sequence: CATTTCACACG (C duplicated to T)
5. Substitution:
- Definition: One nucleotide is replaced by another.
- Changed Sequence: CATTGCACAC (A substituted by G)
Let's fill out the table with these details:
[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|c|l|l|} \hline \text{Type of Mutation} & \begin{tabular}{l} Original Nucleotide \\ Sequence \end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c} Changed Nucleotide \\ Sequence \end{tabular} \\ \hline \text{deletion} & CATTCACACG & CATTCACG \\ \hline \text{insertion} & CATTCACACG & CATTCACACCACG \\ \hline \text{inversion} & CATTCACACG & CATTCACACA \\ \hline \text{duplication} & CATTCACACG & CATTTCACACG \\ \hline \text{substitution} & CATTCACACG & CATTGCACAC \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]
Now the table is complete with each changed nucleotide sequence correctly matched to its type of mutation.

Now the table is complete with each changed nucleotide sequence correctly matched to its type of mutation.
