Point mutation

There are several different types of mutations possible in the base sequence of DNA. If a GGC (glycine) codon were changed to UGC (cysteine), it would be termed a point mutation.

Explanation:

Point mutation is caused when a nitrogenous base (purine or pyrimidine) is substituted by another base of the same or different class in a nucleotide. So, GGC (glycine) codon to UGC (cysteine) signifies the change of the first base - guanine to uracil.

Other types of mutation include insertion and deletion.

But in this case, point mutation is said to have occurred.
