Question

Which type of mutation results in a frameshift

mutation?
substitution
insertion
deletion
point mutation

Answer 1

Insertion and deletion result in a frameshift mutation. Frameshift mutations caused by "indel" mutations, meaning insertion or deletion mutations. These mutations shift the way the DNA is read. A frameshift mutation can throw off all of the nucleotide that follow in a DNA sequence, making them particularly likely to lead to significant consequences.

Answer 2

Insertion and deletion. Hope this helps!
