It seems like you're referencing a diagram that isn't provided here. However, I can help explain various types of mutations, and you can use that information to identify the type of mutation depicted in your diagram.

  1. Frameshift Mutation: This occurs when nucleotides are inserted or deleted from the DNA sequence in numbers that are not multiples of three. This shifts the reading frame of the codons, leading to a completely different translation from that point forward.

  2. Deletion Mutation: This is the loss of one or more nucleotide pairs from a gene. It can lead to a frameshift if the deletion is not a multiple of three.

  3. Insertion Mutation: This involves the addition of nucleotide pairs into a gene, which can also cause a frameshift if the insertion is not a multiple of three.

  4. Substitution Mutation: This involves replacing one nucleotide with another. This can lead to a silent, missense, or nonsense mutation depending on the effect on the protein.

To accurately answer your question, you would need to determine whether the mutation type shows a frameshift (shift in reading frame), deletion (loss of nucleotides), insertion (addition of nucleotides), or substitution (replacement of nucleotides). If you can describe the diagram or provide additional details, I can assist you further!
