Adding or subtracting just one nucleotide would cause a frame shift mutation.
A point mutation that does not produce a frame shift is when one single base is replaced by a different base. This changes the DNA sequence, but does not cause a frame shift because it is a switch not an addition or subtraction of a base.
Substitution is not ever a frame shift mutation. However, insertion, point mutation, and deletion are all examples of a frame shift mutation.

The addition or deletion of a nucleotide can lead to a Frameshift mutation. The Frameshift mutation causes a "shift" in the reading frame of the codons in the mRNA. This may lead to the change in the amino acid sequence at protein translation.

Frame shift mutations that occur on the X chromosome and within the potion of code that controls the formation of clotting factors can cause hemophilia. Frame shift mutations are only one of many types of mutations that can cause the disorder. For hemophilia it's not so much the type of mutation but the location of the mutation within the genetic code.

A frame shift mutation destroys the correct sequence of amino acids from the point of the mutation. The protein produced by a frame shift mutation would more than likely be nonfunctional.

A frame-shift mutation.
No
A deletion causing a frame shift mutation.
When a addition or deletion mutation occurs, changing the reading frame.
