What is Types of Gene Mutations Explained about?
Gene mutations can be caused by changes to DNA sequences. There are two types of small-scale mutations: point mutations and frameshift mutations. Point mutations involve changing a single nucleotide, which may cause a different amino acid but often has little effect. Frameshift mutations occur when a nucleotide is inserted or deleted, shifting the reading frame and changing all subsequent amino acids, severely altering the protein. The document provides examples of how point mutations like substitutions
