Frameshift mutation
A frameshift mutation
frameshift mutation
Nucleotides are added during DNA replication to create a new complementary strand of DNA, ensuring accurate genetic information is passed on to daughter cells during cell division.
An insertion mutation occurs when extra bases are added into a gene. This can disrupt the reading frame, leading to a shift in the way the genetic code is interpreted during protein synthesis.
A mutation in which a single base is added to or deleted from DNA is called an insertion or deletion mutation, also known as an indel mutation. This can lead to a shift in the reading frame during translation, causing significant changes in the resulting protein sequence and potentially leading to functional consequences.

Insertion is a genetic mutation when an extra base is added to the DNA before or during replication
This is a frameshift mutation and will render the rest of the DNA sequence useless.
frameshift mutation
This is an example of an insertion mutation, where an extra nucleotide (cytosine in this case) is added to the DNA sequence during transcription, causing a shift in the reading frame and resulting in a change in the amino acid sequence of the protein being produced.

Not necessarily. Mutations can result from a variety of changes to the DNA sequence, including substitutions, deletions, or insertions of nucleotides. These changes can be spontaneous errors during DNA replication, exposure to mutagens, or environmental factors.

Mutation of the genetic code causes DNA variation in organisms. For example, during DNA replication, one nitrogen base may be substituted for another, or an extra base can be added, or a nitrogen base can be skipped. If any of these mutations occur during the formation of gametes (sex cells), then the offspring that receives the mutation may have a genetic disorder.

Before you know what a nucleotide substitution error is, you have to know what a nucleotide is. A nucleotide holds the DNA strand together and helps make copies. When a Strand is ready to be copied, Let's say one nucleotide reads for G(Guanine), then another nucleotide would be added, which would mean C (Cytosine) would be added. A substitution error would mean that, that instead of Cytosine being added, Thymine, Adenine, Uracil, or Guanine could be added, resulting in a mutation.
