Detailed explanation-1: -Deletion frameshift mutation, wherein one or more nucleotides are deleted in a nucleic acid, resulting in the alteration of the reading frame, i.e., reading frameshift, of the nucleic acid.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insertion mutations and deletion mutations are the two forms of frameshift mutations that might occur.

Detailed explanation-3: -Deletion mutations. In the top sequence three nucleotides comprising a single codon are deleted. This shortens the resulting protein product by one amino acid but does not affect the rest of its sequence. In the lower section, a single nucleotide is deleted.
