Answer:

A frameshift mutation.

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation is when one adds an extra nucleotide to a series of nucleotides. This will mess up the order of the nucleotide, thus when it forms the codons, and eventually, the amino acids; all of the codons are wrong, thus all of the amino acids are wrong.

In this situation, an extra nucleotide is added to a sequence of DNA, this results in all of the other nucleotides getting pushed over by (1). Thus, all of the nucleotides form the wrong codons and the wrong amino acids. Therefore, a frameshift mutation has occured.

in order for a hypothesis to be testable, scientists need to be able to carry out investigations that will either support or dis

IRISSAK [1]

True

Explanation - A hypothesis is given once the question is identified and background research has been done. A hypothesis is validated by performing experiments.

Prior to the experiments being performed, proper planning is done. After the experiment is carried out, the data is noted. Once the data is noted, results are inferred.

If the evidence agrees with the prediction then the hypothesis is being supported and validated. If the result fails to validate the hypothesis then the hypothesis need to be abandoned or modified.
