Question

What is frame shift mutation ? Name the type of mutation that does not affect protein synthesis.

Answer 1

Answer:

Silent” mutation: does not change an amino acid, but in some cases can still have a phenotypic effect, e.g., by speeding up or slowing down protein synthesis, or by affecting splicing. Frameshift mutation: Deletion or insertion of a number of bases that is not a multiple of 3.

Answer 2

Name the type of mutation that does not affect protein synthesis. When a change occurs change in the reading frame it leads to the introduction of unrelated amino acids into the protein, generally followed by a stop codon. This kind of mutation is called as Frameshift mutation.
