The type of genetic mutation where codons cannot make any sense or cannot be passed correctly is called a frameshift mutation. In this type of mutation, one or more nucleotides are inserted or deleted from the DNA sequence, which causes a shift in the reading frame of the codons, leading to a completely different sequence of amino acids being produced during translation.
