"""The form of mutation that takes place here is C, Frameshift mutation. Frameshift mutations are deletions or insertions in the DNA that do not occur in multiples of three nucleotides.
They are a type of insertion and deletion (indel) mutations that occur in the coding sequence of polypeptides.
The number of nucleotides added or removed from the coding sequence is not multiples of three.
These mutations can arise from straightforward modifications such as the addition or removal of just one nucleotide.
