A reversion mutation is a mutation that reverses the effect of a prior mutation. In the case of a frame-shift mutation, which is caused by the addition of one nucleotide base, a reversion mutation would be the deletion of one base or the addition of one base. The other choices (deleting 2 bases, adding 3 bases, or deleting 1 base or adding 2 bases) are not valid reversion mutations for this type of mutation, and thus cannot be classified as such.
Frame-shift mutations occur when one or more nucleotide bases are inserted or deleted from a sequence of DNA. These mutations can cause a shift in the reading frame of the gene, resulting in a completely different amino acid sequence and a different phenotype. Reversion mutations, on the other hand, revert the effects of prior mutations, thereby restoring the normal reading frame of the gene and thus its original phenotype.
