To accurately answer your question about what type of mutation has occurred based on the diagram you mentioned, I would need to see that diagram or have a description of it. However, I can provide general definitions for the types of mutations listed:

  1. Deletion: A section of DNA is removed, resulting in a loss of genetic material.
  2. Substitution: One nucleotide is replaced by another, which may or may not affect the resulting protein.
  3. Frameshift: This occurs when nucleotides are added or removed from the DNA sequence, changing the reading frame and potentially altering all downstream amino acids.
  4. Insertion: One or more nucleotides are added to the DNA sequence, which can also lead to a frameshift if not in multiples of three.

If the diagram depicts a loss of genetic material, the answer would be deletion. If it shows a single nucleotide change, it would be substitution. If there are extra nucleotides added or if nucleotides are removed (not in multiples of three), it could indicate a frameshift.

Please provide more details about the diagram or the disorder to help determine the type of mutation accurately!
