Frameshift
This diagram shows
missense mutation

frameshift mutation
DNA mutations that do not cause any functional change in the protein product are known as
nonsense mutations
missense mutations
deletion mutations
silent mutations
A gene mutation that occurs when a single mucleotide is added or deleted and causes a shift in how the codons are read
Frameshift Mutation
Point Mutation
Gene Mutation
Acquired Mutation
A (a) mutation only affects one base in the DNA sequence.
A frameshift mutation are the most detrimental mutations because they affect the (a) sequence after the mutation.
If a codon was supposed to be GGA, but instead became GGU, and did not affect the amino acid, what type of mutation is this?
(a)
