A)frameshift
B)transversion
C)transition
D)base analog
E)recombinant

Frameshift mutations result in changes to the reading frame of the DNA sequence, which can cause a shift in the way that amino acids are read and assembled into proteins. This can lead to multiple contiguous amino acid changes in the resulting protein. Transversion and transition mutations involve a change in a single nucleotide base, and base analogs can incorporate into DNA and cause errors during replication, but they are not typically associated with contiguous amino acid changes in proteins. Recombination involves the exchange of genetic material between chromosomes or within a chromosome, but it is not necessarily associated with amino acid changes in proteins.
