Answer:

Frameshift mutations

Step-by-step explanation:

Frameshift mutations are generally much more serious and often more deadly than point mutations. Even though only a single nitrogen base is affected, as with point mutations, in this instance, the single base is either completely deleted or an extra one is inserted into the middle of the DNA sequence.

Hope it helps!!!
