Question

What Is Frame Shift Mutation? Is This Mutation Similar To Single-nucleotide Polymorphism?​

Answer 1

Answer:

This is the type of mutation in which DNA sequence is changed due to addition and deletion of nucleotides. This mutation changes the c0de for amino acids. This is also called framing error or reading frame shift. This mutation will cause the reading of the co0dons after the mutation to c0de for different amino acids. No, this mutation is not similar to single-nucleotide polymorphism. In single-nucleotide polymorphism nucleotide is replaced, rather than inserted or deleted.

Answer 2

• Germline mutations occur in gametes. Somatic mutations occur in other body cells.
• Chromosomal alterations are mutations that change chromosome structure.
• Frameshift mutations are additions or deletions of nucleotides that cause a shift in the reading frame.
