Describe the term frame shift mutation

Question

Describe briefly the term frame shift mutation? Is this mutation alike to single-nucleotide polymorphism?

Answer 1

This is the kind of mutation in that DNA series is changed because of deletion and addition of nucleotides. This mutation changes the code for amino acids. This is also named as reading frame shift or framing error. This mutation will cause the reading of the codons after the mutation to code for various amino acids. No, this mutation is not alike to single-nucleotide polymorphism. Inside single-nucleotide polymorphism nucleotide is substituted, before deleted or inserted.
