An insertion mutation is when an extra nucleotide is inserted into the DNA molecule.
For example if the original sequence is:
AATGCATGGACT
an insertion could be:
AATCGCATGGACT
This would change the code from: AAT GCA TGG ACT
to AAT CGC ATG GAC T.....
You can see that after the insertion all the codes are changed. Since each set of three nucleotides codes for an amino acid, this would change all of the subsequent amino acids in the protein coded for by the gene.
point mutation, insertion and deletion
insertion and deletion
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.
This is an example of an insertion mutation. Insertion mutations involve the addition of extra nucleotides into a DNA sequence, which can lead to significant changes in the genetic code and potentially disrupt normal gene function.
during meiosis
Insertion mutations can affect many amino acids in the protein.An insertion mutation usually causes more defects during protein synthesis than point mutation because an insertion mutation will affect many amino acids in the protein.

Maybe
Adding or subtracting just one nucleotide would cause a frame shift 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.
Insertion is a genetic mutation when an extra base is added to the DNA before or during replication
From another angle: beneficial and detrimental.
They are both mutations of chromosomes
An insertion/deletion event.
