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.
A frameshift mutation is caused by adding one nucleotide into the middle of a sequence. This type of mutation alters the reading frame of the genetic code, leading to a completely different amino acid sequence downstream of the insertion point.
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.
A frameshift mutation completely changes the genetic code from the point of the mutation, so the protein made as a result of the mutation would have the incorrect structure and would not function as it should.
Here's a sample nucleotide sequence:AATUGCIf there was a nucleotide deletion (let's say the "G" gets deleted), the sequence would become:AATUCIf there was a nucleotide addition/insertion (let's say a "G" was added between "T' and "U"), the sequence would become:AATGUGCThe difference is that a deletion makes the DNA shorter and an insertion makes it longer.
this question is my my biology book. my choices are A. 5'GGGGCCAAA 3' B. 5' GGGCCAAA 3' C5'GGGAAACCC'3 D. 5'GGGCCCAAAAAA 3' im going with D.. i did to
Insertion?
No
a kind of mutation called deletion or insertion

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.
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.
