It would be Insertion, Inversion, and Substitution. Insertion is adding an extra nucleotide in. Inversion is reversing the order a the codon. Substitution is switching out one of the nucleotides for another. G was inserted. ATC was inverted or CTA. TTA was substituted to AAC as well as G substituted to T.

Answer

Mutation -Sudden change occuring in DNA is known as mutation.

The type of mutation shown in the provided DNA sequences is a Substitution mutation. In this case, individual nucleotides have been replaced with different ones (e.g., T to A, G to C, A to T, etc.), resulting in a change in the genetic code.

A- adenine

T- thymine

G- guanin

C- cytosine
