Detailed explanation-1: -A deletion changes the DNA sequence by removing at least one nucleotide in a gene. Small deletions remove one or a few nucleotides within a gene, while larger deletions can remove an entire gene or several neighboring genes. The deleted DNA may alter the function of the affected protein or proteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -Frameshift Mutation A frameshift mutation in a gene refers to the insertion or deletion of nucleotide bases in numbers that are not multiples of three.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the case of deletion mutations, one nucleobase is removed from the DNA sequence usually during DNA replication. Frameshift: this type of mutation occurs as a result of deletion point mutations.
Detailed explanation-4: -In genetics, a deletion (also called gene deletion, deficiency, or deletion mutation) (sign:
