What
type of mutation causes this the sequence AGTATA to become AGTATTA

Insertion

Explanation:

Mutation is generally referred to as any change or alteration that occurs to the nucleotide sequence of a gene. There are several types of mutation depending on how it occurs. The types of mutations are; substitution, insertion, deletion, etc.

Insertion mutation is a type of mutation in which one or more nucleotide base is added a sequence. This is the case in this question about an original sequence that reads: AGTATA. We then have the mutated sequence as follows: AGTATTA

Notice that, nucleotide "T" has been added in between T and A. Hence, a type of INSERTION mutation.

they each offer a fresh glut of resources to the organisms that can arrive and exploit them. as individuals and new species continue to appear, they actively and passively alter the environment. competition for shared resources increases, local abiotic and biotic conditions shift, and the relative abundances of species change accordingly. the process is called ecological succession, and it is one of the earliest and most well-known concepts in ecology.
