To determine the type of mutation illustrated in the base sequences, we need to analyze the differences between the two sequences. Here’s a brief overview of the types of mutations mentioned:
- Deletion: A section of the DNA sequence is removed.
- Insertion: An extra base or bases are added to the sequence.
- Inversion: A section of the DNA sequence is reversed.
- Substitution: One base is replaced by another base.
Since I can't see the actual sequences, I can't directly identify the type of mutation. However, you can identify the mutation by comparing the two sequences you have:
- If you see missing bases in one sequence compared to the other, it's a deletion.
- If you see extra bases in one sequence, it's an insertion.
- If there is a segment of the sequence that appears to be reversed, it's an inversion.
- If one base is swapped for another, it's a substitution.
Look for these signs in the sequences you have, and you'll be able to classify the mutation correctly.
