The DNA sequence of a portion of gene in the wild-type organism is TTACCATATTCACCC, and the corresponding peptide sequence is Leu-Pro-Tyr_Ser-Pro. The corresponding gene fragment in the phenotypic variant of the organism is TTACCATATTCACCC and the peptide sequence is Leu-Pro-Cys-Ser-Pro. This is an example of a __________ mutation (type) resulting in a ________ mutation (effect).

a). insertion; nonsense
b). basic substitution; missense
c). base substitution; silent
d). deletion; missense
e). base subtitution; nonsense

The two DNA sequences are the same, but there is a change in the Amino acid, so I think you copied the sequence incorrectly.

At any rate, the answer is B.

This is because it has a meaningful change making it a MISSENSE mutation. Since a deletion would cause a frameshift, it must be basic substitution.
