DNA molecule segment is : TTA CGC AAG
The mutated DNA segment is TTC GCA AG. This is an example of ___ mutation.
Missense Substitution
Deletion Frameshift
Insertion Frameshift
Translocation Substitution
Answer explanation
The given DNA segment has a deletion mutation causing a frameshift, leading to a change in the reading frame. This matches the Deletion Frameshift mutation.

GAG CTC-CAC-AGA
Missense Substitution
Silent Substitution
Nonsense Substitution
Frameshift
Answer explanation
