Detailed explanation-1: -An insertion, as related to genomics, is a type of mutation that involves the addition of one or more nucleotides into a segment of DNA. An insertion can involve the addition of any number of nucleotides, from a single nucleotide to an entire piece of a chromosome.
Detailed explanation-2: -A frameshift mutation is a genetic mutation caused by a deletion or insertion in a DNA sequence that shifts the way the sequence is read.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mutations can be of many types, such as substitution, deletion, insertion, and translocation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Insertional mutagenesis is the phenomenon by which an exogenous DNA sequence integrates within the genome of a host organism. This event can result in the deregulation of genes in the neighborhood of the insertion site and can potentially cause a perturbation of cellular phenotype.
Detailed explanation-5: -Types of Mutations There are three types of DNA Mutations: base substitutions, deletions and insertions.
