Answer:

Point mutation

Step-by-step explanation:

Point mutation would have a bigger effect because the mutation would be passed down in the future reproduction of the DNA. Translation error would be smaller because it only impacts the corresponding protein from that error.

The answer is a mutation. Its a mutation because a mutation can cause an organism to be deformed an in some cases due to the deformation it will not be able to feed or defend for it self. For example, if a Giraffe were to be born with a short neck it would not be able to feed because trees are tall. The answer is mutilation.
