Question
The addition or deletion of a nucleotide base pair involves
- Point Mutation
- Silent mutation
- Non-sense mutation
- Frame shift mutation
Hint:
An insertion or deletion involving a number of base pairs that is not a multiple of three, which consequently disrupts the triplet reading frame of a DNA sequence.
The correct answer is: Frame shift mutation
- A frameshift mutation is a genetic mutation caused by indels of a number of nucleotides in a DNA sequence that is not divisible by three.
- Due to the triplet nature of gene expression by codons, the insertion or deletion can change the reading frame, resulting in a completely different translation from the original.
