A mutation that occurs within a gene is known as a gene mutation. This type of mutation can involve changes in the DNA sequence, such as substitutions, insertions, or deletions of nucleotides. These alterations can affect the protein encoded by the gene, potentially altering its function, stability, or expression levels. Depending on the nature of the mutation, it may lead to neutral, beneficial, or harmful effects on the organism.
The mutation described is a "silent mutation." This term is used because the change from G to U in the second position of the sequence does not alter the resulting amino acid due to the redundancy in the genetic code. Specifically, both GGU and GGU (the original and mutated sequences) code for the same amino acid, glycine. Therefore, the mutation does not affect the protein's sequence or function.

The term that describes the situation where the wrong nucleotide was inserted during DNA replication is mutation. Mutations can result from errors in DNA replication, environmental factors, or spontaneous changes in the genetic material.
