Frameshift mutations result from the:
A) substitution of one base pair for another
B) substitution of more than one base pair
C) insertion or deletion of one or two base pairs
D) substitution of a stop codon for an amino acid-specifying codon
E) substitution of a start codon for an amino acid codon
Frameshift Mutations
Genetic mutations caused by insertions or deletions of a number of nucleotides in a DNA sequence that is not divisible by three, leading to a disruption of the reading frame during protein synthesis.
Base Pairs
Pairs of nucleotides that form the building blocks of the DNA double helix, with adenine pairing with thymine, and cytosine pairing with guanine.
Insertion
The attachment site of a muscle tendon to the bone that moves when the muscle contracts.
