MUTATION:

  • Mutation is referred to as any change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA molecule.

  • Mutation can be of different types namely: deletion mutation, substitution, insertion mutation etc.

  • Deletion mutation is a kind of mutation that involves the removal of one or more nucleotide base from the DNA sequence.

  • According to this question, an original sequence is given as: A T A C G G T A G C A A, mutation occurs and results in the following sequence: A T C G G T A G C A A.

  • Nucleotide base "A" was removed from this sequence, hence, it is an example of deletion mutation.
