Question

Which mutation does the given change in nucleotide sequence represent?

ATTGCATC → ATACGTTC

Answer 1

That's called inversion.

Answer 2

Substitution Mutation (Transversion)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a substitution mutation, the complementary base pairs of a gene get substituted.

Hence,a purine is substituted by a pyrimidine base or vice versa happens

ATTGCATC → ATACGTTC

In this set of gene , the bold highlighted base “TGCA” is replaced by its complementary base pair “ACGT”

A is complementary to T

G is complementary to C

Hence , this mutation is a tranversion substitution mutation
