The correct answers to fill in the blanks are:
1. **Substitution** mutations occur when a single base is changed to a different base pair.
2. **Deletion** mutations remove one or more bases from a segment of DNA, resulting in a frameshift mutation.
3. **Insertion** mutations are also considered frameshift mutations, and occur when one or more extra bases are added to a segment of DNA.
So the completed sentence would be:
"There are multiple types of mutations in DNA **substitution** mutations occur when a single base is changed to a different base pair **deletion** mutations remove one or more bases from a segment of DNA, resulting in a frameshift mutation **insertion** mutations are also considered frameshift mutations, and occur when one or more extra bases are added to a segment of DNA."
