Answer:

Frameshift

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is frameshift because if it replaces one letter of your genes it might end up with a diifernt protein that it was supposed to be, but if you have a frameshift mutattion the entire thing moves up and it reads 3 totally differnt letters from what it was supposed to be.
