Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The protein-coding region of a healthy adult reads ATGGGGATATGAGCAT.

The beginning of a protein-coding region of the tanning individual DNA reads ATGGGGATATGGCAT

The site of mutation is close to the end - GGCA - between the two G's, a base (A) has been deleted.

Thus this type of mutation is termed deletion: a process whereby one or more bases are removed from a nucleotide sequence of DNA.
