### Sequence Data of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Scientists have sequenced SARS-CoV-2 genomes from various states to understand genetic variation. Table 1 provides sequence data for the spike protein gene from SARS-CoV-2 viruses collected in different states. #### Table 1: SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Sequence Variations | State | 1059 | 3037 | 14408 | 18060 | 23403 | 25563 | 28144 | Number of Differences | |------------|------|------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-----------------------| | Washington | C | C | C | T | A | G | C | – | | Utah | C | T | T | C | G | T | T | | | Colorado | C | C | C | C | A | G | T | | | Kansas | C | T | T | C | G | G | T | | | California | T | T | T | C | G | T | T | | **Explanation:** - The table lists nucleotide sequences at different positions for samples from several states. - The sequence from Washington acts as a reference. - Nucleotides at specific positions show mutations that vary from the Washington sequence. - The “Number of Differences” column is designed to note differences from the Washington sequence. **Question 3:** Which of the following types of mutations is represented in Table 1? a. substitutions b. insertions c. deletions *Answer to Question 3:* The table primarily shows **substitutions**, where one nucleotide is replaced by another at specific positions.

Expert Solution
Introduction:

Mutations in the DNA happen at random and are not directed in any way to bring about a positive or negative change in the protein being coded by those segments of DNA.
