Sickle cell anemia is a disease caused by a mutation at the genotypic level. A person with two copies of the gene has the disease, but a person with one copy of the gene does not have the disease. The diagram shows how this mutation affects an organism.   Use the image to answer the question. What type of change occurred in the DNA? A. deletion mutation   B. frameshift mutation   C. insertion mutation   D. substitution mutation
