Question

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!

Compare and contrast a frameshift mutation and a single nucleotide substitution mutation in a DNA sequence encoding a protein. How many nucleotides would be inserted or deleted in each? How many amino acids in the protein sequence would be altered in each?

Answer 1

look at the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

In frameshift mutations, the addition or deletion of 1,2 or 4 nucleotides occurs, which changes the ribosome reading frame. In single-nucleotide substitution, only one is substituted, as the name implies. A single substation is when one of our DNA bases is replaced with another and changes one amino acid. In Frame-shift, mutations usually have more significant effects on the final proteins. Frame shifts can affect the entire chain of proteins.
