Answer 1

The original strand is AGC GTA CCC TAC, and the new strand is AGC GTA ACC TAC. Upon comparing the two strands, the third codon has changed from CCC to ACC.

This is an example of a substitution mutation, where one base (C) has been replaced by another base (A) in the DNA sequence.

So the correct answer is: substitution.
