This is a frameshift mutation and will render the rest of the DNA sequence useless.

Frameshift mutation
A frameshift mutation
Insertion is a genetic mutation when an extra base is added to the DNA before or during replication
This is a frameshift mutation.
Mutation of the genetic code causes DNA variation in organisms. For example, during DNA replication, one nitrogen base may be substituted for another, or an extra base can be added, or a nitrogen base can be skipped. If any of these mutations occur during the formation of gametes (sex cells), then the offspring that receives the mutation may have a genetic disorder.

Before you know what a nucleotide substitution error is, you have to know what a nucleotide is. A nucleotide holds the DNA strand together and helps make copies. When a Strand is ready to be copied, Let's say one nucleotide reads for G(Guanine), then another nucleotide would be added, which would mean C (Cytosine) would be added. A substitution error would mean that, that instead of Cytosine being added, Thymine, Adenine, Uracil, or Guanine could be added, resulting in a mutation.
