Question

identify the following type of mutation: original gene sequence: tgc gtg att aag cgg tgt aca cgt tgc mutated gene sequence: tgc gtg att aaa gcg gtg tac acg ttg c frameshift, insertion frameshift, deletion point

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation occurs when nucleotides are inserted or deleted, changing the reading - frame of the genetic code. Here, comparing the original and mutated gene sequences, there is an insertion of nucleotides which shifts the reading frame. A point mutation involves a single - base substitution. Since the change here is due to insertion and affects the reading frame, it is a frameshift, insertion mutation.

Answer:

Frameshift, Insertion
