Answer 2

Answer:

A. Missense.

Explanation:

Since the resulting nucleotide is offset from its initial sequence by only one parallel nucleotide we can definitely say it is Missense mutation. This sort of a mutation is known as a nonsynonymous mutation, there is only one direct substitution that occurs in the codon producing a different amino acid.
