A frameshift mutation is created when[ "telomeric sequences are removed from DNA", "a codon's nucleotide sequence changes so that it calls for production of a different amino acid than the original one", "a base pair is either inserted or deleted in a gene", "a codon's nucleotide sequence is changed so that instead of coding for a given amino acid it acts to terminate translation" ]

∻Answer∻ ⚹ A frameshift mutation is created when "a base pair is either inserted or deleted in a gene" ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Definition of Frameshift Mutation: A frameshift mutation occurs when the addition or deletion of DNA bases changes a gene's reading frame. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Impact on Protein Synthesis: This type of mutation shifts the grouping of codons, which can lead to a completely different translation from the original, often resulting in a nonfunctional protein. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Frameshift Mutation ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ A frameshift mutation is caused by the insertion or deletion of a base pair in the DNA sequence, which alters the reading frame of the gene during protein synthesis. ⚹◊What are the potential consequences of a frameshift mutation on the resulting protein structure and function⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
