Drag each label to the correct location.

Match the changed nucleotide sequences to the mutations that cause them.

Original Nucleotide Sequence: CATTCACACG

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
\hline
Type of Mutation & Original Nucleotide Sequence & Changed Nucleotide Sequence \\
\hline
deletion & CATTCACACG & CATTCACG \\
\hline
insertion & CATTCACACG & CATTCACACCACG \\
\hline
inversion & CATTCACACG & CATTGCACAC \\
\hline
duplication & CATTCACACG & CATTCACACACG \\
\hline
substitution & CATTCACACG & CATTTCACACG \\
\hline
\end{tabular}



Answer :

Let's match each changed nucleotide sequence to the corresponding type of mutation.

1. Original Nucleotide Sequence: CATTCACACA

### Step-by-Step Matching:

- Deletion: A nucleotide has been removed from the original sequence.
- Changed Nucleotide Sequence: CATTCACAC
- Explanation: By comparing with the original sequence CATTCACACA, we see the last 'A' is missing.

- Insertion: One or more nucleotides have been added to the original sequence.
- Changed Nucleotide Sequence: CATTCACACCACG
- Explanation: The original sequence is CATTCACACA, and extra nucleotides (likely 'CCACG') have been added.

- Inversion: A section of the nucleotide sequence has been reversed.
- Changed Nucleotide Sequence: CATTTCACACG
- Explanation: A segment within the sequence has been inverted.

- Duplication: A segment of the original sequence has been repeated.
- Changed Nucleotide Sequence: CATTCACACACA
- Explanation: The original sequence CATTCACACA is seen with an extra duplicated segment.

- Substitution: One nucleotide in the original sequence has been replaced with another.
- Changed Nucleotide Sequence: CATTGCACAC
- Explanation: Comparing with the original sequence CATTCACACA, one 'T' is replaced with 'G'.

### Filling the Table:

Given the table structure is:

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
\hline Type of Mutation & Original Nucleotide Sequence & Changed Nucleotide Sequence \\
\hline
deletion & CATTCACACA & CATTCACAC \\
\hline
insertion & CATTCACACA & CATTCACACCACG \\
\hline
inversion & CATTCACACA & CATTTCACACG \\
\hline
duplication & CATTCACACA & CATTCACACACA \\
\hline
substitution & CATTCACACA & CATTGCACAC \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

So, the correct placement of the labels based on the given data is:

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
\hline Type of Mutation & \begin{tabular}{l}
Original Nucleotide \\
Sequence
\end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c}
Changed Nucleotide \\
Sequence
\end{tabular} \\
\hline deletion & CATTCACACA & CATTCACAC \\
\hline insertion & CATTCACACA & CATTCACACCACG \\
\hline inversion & CATTCACACA & CATTTCACACG \\
\hline duplication & CATTCACACA & CATTCACACACA \\
\hline substitution & CATTCACACA & CATTGCACAC \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
