I'm unable to see images, but I can help you identify the types of mutations based on descriptions. Here’s a brief explanation of each mutation type:

  1. Substitution: One nucleotide is replaced by another. For example, if "A" is replaced by "G".

  2. Deletion: One or more nucleotides are removed from the sequence. For example, if a segment like "ATCG" becomes "ACG".

  3. Insertion: One or more nucleotides are added to the sequence. For example, if "ATC" becomes "ATGC".

If you describe the mutations you see in the image, I can help you categorize them using the word bank provided!
