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.

∙ 10y agoOne type of mutation is called a point mutation, in which one nitrogen base in a sequence is substituted for another. Another type of mutation is a frameshift mutation, in which a nitrogen base is added or removed from a sequence of nitrogen bases.

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 frame shift mutations?
"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
What are two major types of nutrition in protists?
They are either saprophytes or parasites.
Which of these is not one of the two major types of visual emphasis?
technique
What two types of chromosomal mutations?
Two are insertion mutations and deletion mutations.
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
What are the two types of mutations in gamete cells?
Deletion or Insertion
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
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.

What are the two major types of Christianity?
The two main types of Christianity is protestants and catholics.
Two major groups of animals?
Types of birds Types of primates
What are the two types of overhauling?
minor or major
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.
What are the two major types of pipet?
