To determine the type of mutation, we need information about the specific changes made to the sequence. Here are the definitions for each mutation type:

1. **Insertion Mutation**: Involves the addition of one or more nucleotides into a DNA sequence.

2. **Chromosomal Mutation**: Involves large segments of DNA and can affect whole chromosomes, including duplications, deletions, inversions, or translocations.

3. **Substitution Mutation**: Occurs when one nucleotide is replaced by another in the DNA sequence.

4. **Deletion Mutation**: Involves the removal of one or more nucleotides from a DNA sequence.

Based on the type of change described, you can categorize the mutation accordingly. If you provide the specific details of the mutation (e.g., which nucleotides were added, deleted, or replaced), I can help you identify the type more accurately.
