Answer:

Mutation

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutation refers to the change in the structure of a gene. This change occurs when changes are made in the base/nucleotide sequence on a gene.

An example of such error made during DNA replication are incorrectly paired nucleotides or insertion/deletion of nucleotides during replication.
