How did the frame shift change the amino acid

1 Answer

During translation, the sequence of codons is read in order from the nucleotide sequence to synthesize a chain of amino acids and form a protein.

Therefore, frameshift mutations result in abnormal protein products with an incorrect amino acid sequence that can be either longer or shorter than the normal protein.

Hope this helped!
