C
Newstion, Deletion, Insertion
D
Insertion, Newstion, Substitution
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are three types of DNA Mutations: base substitutions, deletions and insertions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Germline mutations occur in gametes. Somatic mutations occur in other body cells. Chromosomal alterations are mutations that change chromosome structure. Point mutations change a single nucleotide.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mutations can be of many types, such as substitution, deletion, insertion, and translocation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Genetic mutations include substitutions, insertions, or deletions, while chromosomal mutations include duplications, deletions, or inversions. Spontaneous mutations occur as mistakes in copying DNA, while induced mutations are caused by external factors like radiation or chemicals.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some types of gene mutations are classified as missense, nonsense, insertion, deletion, duplication, and frameshift, among many others. The major effects of a gene mutation include the onset of highly fatal diseases such as cancer [4, 13].
