Answer:

Missence mutation

Step-by-step explanation:

Missense mutation is a type of point mutation in which a single nucleotide change results in a codon that codes for a different amino acid.

Basically, A single base pair substitution that results in a change of amino acids in the protein, but does NOT result in a premature stop of the protein rather codes a different protein.
