"I believe there is insertion and deletion, (one kind), and substitutions. (the second kind)"
This answer is incorrect, the two types of frameshift mutation are insertion and deletion, these both alter the translation reading frame. A substitution point mutation in DNA is referred to as a single-nucleotide polymorphism and does not result in any change to the translational reading frame.
insections and deletions are two types of frameshift mutations

∙ 13y agoThere are more then two types of mutations. I believe you are trying to ask the two types of point mutations. In which case;
Substitution: A ribose gets substituted by accident.
Frame shift: one ribose gets added causing a whole line to shift.
Frame shift is more important to know because it is worse then a substitution.

∙ 14y agoDeletion (resulting in a frame shift), duplication (also resulting in a frame shift), or a plain old SNP (change of base). You might also be looking for one which changes the amino acid coding sequence and one that does not.

∙ 14y agoThe two types of single gene mutations are point mutation, where a single point in the DNA sequence is affected, and FRAMESHIFT MUTATION, where a single gene or nitrogen base is deleted or added from the mRNA (messenger RNA) sequence causing a shift in the "reading frame" of the genetic message.

Name two major types of mutations?
Frameshift mutations and Point mutations. The difference between the two are that point mutations occur at a single point in the DNA sequence and frameshift mutations shift the "reading frame" of the genetic message.
What are 3 types of mutation?
Three types of gene mutations are substitution, insertion, and deletion. Another gene mutation would be frame shift. All these mutations can cause deformities of the gene.
List two types of gene mutations?
Two types of gene mutations are chromosomal and point mutation. Chromosomal mutation alters a cell's chromosomes, while point mutation replaces single-base pair nucleotides with other nucleotides found in RNA or DNA.
What are two types of Chromosomal mutations?
There are a few mutations caused by entire chromosome changes. The times the number of chromosome can change can occur when the duplicated chromosomes pull apart and then produce a cell missing a chromosome or having an additional one. For example, XO or XXX or XXY. These are the sex chromosomes where XO means that either the second X is missing, or the Y is missing. Normal would be XX (female) or XY (male). These individuals are able to live with these added or deleted genes. All other missing or additional chromosomes are not compatible with life.
What two process can led to inherited variation in population?
Mutations and emergent properties.
Name two major types of mutations?
Frameshift mutations and Point mutations. The difference between the two are that point mutations occur at a single point in the DNA sequence and frameshift mutations shift the "reading frame" of the genetic message.

What two types of chromosomal mutations?
Two are insertion mutations and deletion mutations.
List two types of gene mutations?
Two types of gene mutations are chromosomal and point mutation. Chromosomal mutation alters a cell's chromosomes, while point mutation replaces single-base pair nucleotides with other nucleotides found in RNA or DNA.
What type of mutation result when bases are added to gene?
Frame shift mutation occurs when a new codon in inserted. Point mutations occurs when one base, sometimes two, are inserted.
What are the two types of mutations in gamete cells?
Deletion or Insertion
What type of mutation results when bases are added to the gene?
This is called an insertion mutation.Some repeats, such as the repeats in the Huntington's gene, can be repeated too many times and then you have the deleterious mutation in this gene.
What are two types of transmissions?
Automatic and standard shift.
Two causes of mutation?
Two types of mutations are Point Mutations and the other is Frameshift Mutations. Piont mutations include; deletions, insertions, and substitutions. These mutations casue a slight change in the amino acid usually resulting in a change in one amino acid. The second type, frameshift mutations involve many changes and almost always results in many changes in the codons.
Is it true that only mutations in gametes can be passed from parent to offspring?
Gametic mutations occur in the cells of the gonads (which produce sperm and eggs) and may be inherited. There are two types of mutations that can occur in gamete cells: 1. Gene Mutations 2. Chromosomal Mutations
Is point mutation lethal?
No. Point mutations, or those resulting from a change in one or a few nucleotides at a single location in a DNA sequence. There are two types of point mutations: base substitutions and frameshift mutations. Not all mutations are in these coding sequences but if they are, then the result can be different or non-functioning proteins. They are considered to be neutral, beneficial or harmful. Two harmful point mutations are sickle cell anemia and polycystic kidney disease.
Name two major types of mutations What do they have in common How are they different Give an example of each?
Gene and chromosomal; both change DNA sequence that affects genetic information. Gene mutations involve a change in one ore several nucleotides in a single gene, whereas chromosomal mutations involve changes in the number or structure of whole chromosomes
