Question

identify the type of mutation show below: original gene sequence: tgc gtg ctt ctc agt gtg cac gtt gca mutated gene sequence: tgc gtg ctt ctc ggt gtg cac gtt gca frameshift, insertion point frameshift, deletion

Explanation:

Compare the original and mutated gene sequences. Only one base - 'A' in 'AGT' of the original sequence is changed to 'G' in 'GGT' of the mutated sequence. A point mutation is a change in a single nucleotide base. There is no insertion or deletion that would cause a frameshift.

Answer:

Point
