"A type of gene mutation wherein the deletion (as well as addition) of (a number of) nucleotide(s) causes a shift in the reading frame of the codons in the mRNA, thus, may eventually lead to the alteration in the amino acid sequence at protein translation."

Is the deletion mutation dominant or recessive?

A deletion mutation can be dominant or recessive, depending on the specific gene affected and the consequences of the deletion on the protein encoded by that gene. In general, the impact of a deletion mutation on an individual's phenotype will determine whether it is dominant or recessive.

Which mutation results in a single missing letter in the genetic code?

frameshift mutation: deletion


Which is not a frameshift mutation substitution insertion deletion or point mutation?

A point mutation is not a frameshift mutation. Point mutations involve changes in a single nucleotide base, while frameshift mutations involve the insertion or deletion of nucleotide bases, causing a shift in the reading frame of the genetic code.


In what type of mutation is one base left out?

A one base left out mutation is called a deletion mutation. This type of mutation involves the loss of one or more nucleotides from a DNA sequence, which can lead to a frameshift mutation if not in multiples of three.
