using the image above correctly identify each type of mutation.
1
2
3
4

Explanation:

• Deletion: In mutation 1, the segment "D" is removed from the original sequence.
• Duplication: Mutation 2 shows an extra "GH" segment added, duplicating part of the original.
• Inversion: Mutation 3 has the "BC" segment inverted (as it's repeated in reverse within the sequence).
• Translocation: Mutation 4 involves the transfer of the "WX" segment from one chromosome (with "WXYZ") to another (with "ABCDEFGH").

Answer:

1. Deletion
2. Duplication
3. Inversion
4. Translocation
