Frameshift mutations can be categorized into two main types: insertions and deletions. An insertion occurs when one or more nucleotide bases are added to the DNA sequence, while a deletion involves the removal of one or more bases. Both types disrupt the reading frame of the gene, leading to changes in the amino acid sequence and potentially resulting in nonfunctional proteins.

Which types of mutation can add genes to a chromosomes?
insertion and deletion
What are 3 types of mutations and what do they do?
The three different types of mutation are substitution, insertion, and deletion. They differ because deletion is missing a base, insertion has a base that was added, and substitution has a base that has been replaced.
A gene has the base sequence cgt at give an example of a framshift mytation?
A frameshift mutation occurs when nucleotides are inserted or deleted from the DNA sequence, altering the reading frame of the gene. For example, if we take the original sequence "cgt" and delete the first "c," the new sequence becomes "gt," which shifts the reading frame and can result in a completely different sequence of amino acids during translation. This type of mutation can lead to significant changes in the resulting protein's structure and function.
What type of mutation is a point mutation?
A point mutation is when 1 base pair is swapped out for another one... so instead of an A you might find a C... or T... or G. Also an insertion or deletion of a base pair A mutation of a single point :)
Define a genetic mutation and state the types of genetic mutations?
A genetic mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can affect an organism's traits. The types of genetic mutations include point mutations (substitution, insertion, deletion), frameshift mutations, and chromosomal mutations (deletion, duplication, inversion, translocation).
What are two types of mutation?

The Mutation - Animorphs - has 142 pages.
What are four of chromosomal mutation?
Four types of chromosomal mutations are Down syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 21), Kinefelter Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a male has an extra X-chromosome), Turner Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a female is missing an X-chromosome), and Patau Syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 13).
What are 3 types of mutations and what do they do?
The three different types of mutation are substitution, insertion, and deletion. They differ because deletion is missing a base, insertion has a base that was added, and substitution has a base that has been replaced.
