Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutation can cause a change in DNA to change in many ways.

Mutation is the sudden change in the genome of an organism that can be heritable from parent by their offspring.

Missense mutation - This occur when a base pair is substituted for by another leading to the formation of an entirely new amino acid.

Nonsense mutation - This occurs when a base pair is substituted for by another leading to the formation of a new amino acid. The new amino acid form therefore send a stop signal to the sequence of amino acid been built.

Insertion or deletion - Insertion mutation inserts new base pair into the sequence changing the number of the DNA base while deletion deletes a base pair changing the number of DNA base from the amino acid sequence.
