To accurately identify the kind of mutation shown in Example 2, I would need to see the specific sequences of the DNA and RNA strands you mentioned. However, I can explain the types of mutations you listed:
1. **Chromosomal Mutation**: Changes that affect whole chromosomes or large segments of them. This includes duplications, deletions, inversions, or translocations of chromosome segments.
2. **Deletion**: A specific point mutation where one or more nucleotides are removed from the DNA sequence.
3. **Substitution**: A point mutation where one nucleotide is replaced by another. This can result in a change in a single amino acid in a protein or may not affect the protein at all (silent mutation).
4. **Insertion**: A point mutation where one or more nucleotides are added into the DNA sequence.
If you provide the sequence for Example 1 and Example 2, I can help you determine which specific type of mutation is present in Example 2 based on the changes observed.
