Based on the types of mutations typically associated with genetic disorders, the correct answer would depend on the specifics of the disorder shown in the diagram. Generally:
- Insertion refers to the addition of one or more nucleotide bases into a DNA sequence.
- Deletion refers to the loss of one or more nucleotide bases from a DNA sequence.
- Substitution refers to the replacement of one nucleotide base with another.
- Frameshift mutations occur when insertions or deletions are not in multiples of three, leading to a shift in the reading frame of the DNA sequence.
If the disorder is caused by a change in the reading frame due to an insertion or deletion that is not a multiple of three, the answer would be frameshift. If it indicates that a base is added or removed correctly, it might be insertion or deletion.
Please provide more context or specific details from the diagram to determine the most accurate type of mutation. If you believe a frameshift mutation is described, then the answer would be frameshift. If you have additional information or specifics from the image that might clarify the context, I can help further!
