Sure, let us match the given nucleotide sequences to the types of mutations.
Original Nucleotide Sequence: CATTCACACA
Changed Nucleotide Sequences:
- CATTCACACCACE
- CATTCACE
- CATTGCACAC
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Insertion Mutation:
- Changed Sequence: CATTCACACCACE
- This sequence has extra nucleotides compared to the original. Specifically, it has an additional "C" and "E" at the end.
- Type of Mutation: Insertion
- Match: Insertion Mutation changes CATTCACACA to CATTCACACCACE
2. Deletion Mutation:
- Changed Sequence: CATTCACE
- This sequence is missing parts of the original sequence. Specifically, the "ACA" segment is missing.
- Type of Mutation: Deletion
- Match: Deletion Mutation changes CATTCACACA to CATTCACE
3. Substitution Mutation:
- Changed Sequence: CATTGCACAC
- This sequence has a single nucleotide change compared to the original. Specifically, the "T" in the 5th position is replaced by a "G".
- Type of Mutation: Substitution
- Match: Substitution Mutation changes CATTCACACA to CATTGCACAC
### Tabulated Form:
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
\hline \begin{tabular}{c}
Type of Mutation
\end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c}

\hline \textbf{Insertion} & CATTCACACA & CATTCACACCACE \\
\hline \textbf{Substitution} & CATTCACACA & CATTGCACAC \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
By matching correctly, we clearly understand how each type of mutation affects the original nucleotide sequence.
