What kind of mutation is this ugu-ccg-GAA-cga to ugc-cgg-GAA-cga?

The sequence TGA-GCC-ATG-A is changed in 2 places to become TGA-GCA-CAT-GA.
When one base is changed, it is called a point mutation.
In this case, a GCC in the DNA has been changed to a GCA. This would mean the mRNA codon (coded for by this DNA) would change from CGG to CGU.
Both of these codons code for the same amino acid - Arginine. Therefore this type of point mutation is known as a silent mutation.
The extra C that appears would be called an addition mutation, which is a type of frameshift mutation.

The fourth nucleotide has changed from an A to a C. This is called a point mutation as it involves only one nucleotide.

A mutation occurs in an eye cell of a fully grown monkey what will most likely happen to the monkey?
This depends on what kind of mutation occurs. You don't say what the mutation/result of the mutation is, so who knows what will happen to the monkey
