frameshift is a type of genetic mutation.we all have nitrogenous bases present as triplet codons which codes for the 20 amino acids.3 specific bases codes for a specific amino acid.when any other base enters into this specific codon then there is a shift in the reading frame and the new codon formed doesn't transcribe to produce the same amino acid.this is also known as frame shift.

How do frameshift mutations affect the structure and function of proteins?

Frameshift mutations occur when nucleotides are inserted or deleted from a gene sequence, causing a shift in the reading frame during protein synthesis. This can lead to a completely different amino acid sequence being produced, resulting in a non-functional or altered protein structure. As a result, frameshift mutations can disrupt the normal function of proteins and potentially lead to genetic disorders or diseases.


Which type of muatation will affect the largest number of proteins produced by an organism?

A frameshift mutation is likely to affect the largest number of proteins produced by an organism. This type of mutation occurs when nucleotides are inserted or deleted from the DNA sequence, altering the reading frame of the gene. Consequently, this can lead to changes in the entire amino acid sequence downstream of the mutation, potentially resulting in nonfunctional proteins or the production of truncated proteins. Such widespread effects can disrupt multiple proteins if the mutation occurs in a key regulatory region or affects multiple genes.

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.
