if a single nucleotide base is added or deleted the entire reading frame will?

• shift, causing a frameshift mutation
• move, causing a delection
• move, causing an addition
• shift, causing a deletion

Why are framshift mutations harmful?

• They cause chromosomes to break
• Every amino acid following the mutation will be different
• They cause the DNA to relocated
• They burn out your clutch
