Question

differentiate between point mutation and frameshift mutation​

Answer 1

In a point mutation, one nucleotide is swapped out for another. Therefore, themutation occurs at a single point or location within the DNA strand. Point mutationsusually only affect the codon that contains the altered nucleotide. Frameshift mutationsare due to either insertions or deletions of nucleotides.

Spontaneous mutations are the result of errors in natural biological processes, while induced mutations are due to agents in the environment that cause changes in DNA structure.
