Detailed explanation-1: -There are different types of genetic mutations that can occur in a cell. Point mutations involve the replacement of one base with another. Frame-shift mutations occur when a base is added or removed from the sequence.
Detailed explanation-2: -Types of Mutations There are three types of DNA Mutations: base substitutions, deletions and insertions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Frameshift mutations occur in two types-insertion mutations and deletion mutations. The overall effect of both is similar-the translational reading frame is “shifted” out of alignment, resulting in a random amino acid sequence.
Detailed explanation-4: -No, point mutations and frameshift mutations are two different types of gene mutations that happen in the nucleotide sequence of a gene. Q. Q.
