Answer:

heyyy there fellow weeb, thought id help u with this.

Step-by-step explanation:

The addition of 2 bases is the most severe of these mutations. Because of a triplet reading of the genetic code, a 2 base insect changes the code readings frame that causes a frameshift mutation that means that each amino acid is incorrect after the mutation's site.
