This is an example of a substitution mutation. Substitution means changing a base pair in a codon, with another base pair. For example, in this case, Thymine was replaced with Adenine. In Deletion, insertion, and copying, a change in the base pair occurs due to deletion, addition or copying of base pair itself.
