Respuesta :
The answer would be frameshift mutation.
The frameshift mutation happens when insertion or deletion of a number of nucleotides that is not multiple of 3. The result will definitely cause a problem in the reading sequence.
In this case, there are insertions of two nucleotides and two is not multiple of 3.

Answer:
Frameshift mutation
Explanation:
There are many different types of mutations in genetics, one such mutation is known as a frameshift mutation.
Codons are sequences of three nucleotides that determine the amino acid it codes for, and when something changes with these sequences, then we have a mutation.
In a frameshift mutation, nucleotides are added or deleted in such a way that the reading frame changes. For example:
If we have the nucleotide sequence- AUG UGC ACG UAC UUG CAG...
We can see that the reading frame reads three nucleotides per amino acid, however if an extra two nucleotides are added in a random location, then there is a shift- AUG UGC AUA CGU ACU UGC AG... (the underlined indicate the added nucleotides).
Now every amino acid after the frameshift mutation would be incorrectly coded for.
