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 codons 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

Answer:

• A frameshift mutation is not the same as a single-nucleotide polymorphism in which a nucleotide is replaced, rather than inserted or deĺeted.
• A frameshift mutation will in general cause the reading of the còdons after the mutation to còde for different amino acids.
