Answer 1

To determine the type of mutation in Example 2, we need to look at the differences between the original DNA/RNA strands in Example 1 and the mutated strands in Example 2. Here are the definitions of the types of mutations:

1. **Substitution**: One base is replaced by another base.
2. **Insertion**: One or more bases are added into the sequence.
3. **Deletion**: One or more bases are removed from the sequence.
4. **Chromosomal**: A larger segment of the chromosome is affected (not typically seen at the level of single bases).

Without seeing the actual sequences, the best approach to answer your question would be based on the defined actions of these mutations. If Example 2 shows a single base change, it will be a substitution. If it shows an extra base present, it would be an insertion. If a base is missing, it would be a deletion.

However, if you have observed specific changes in Example 2 compared to Example 1, you can classify the mutation using the definitions above to find the correct response. If you provide more details about the mutations, I can help you identify the specific type!
