Question

5 multiple choice 1 point what type of mutation is shown? original gene sequence: atg - ccg - tta - gga mutated gene sequence: atg - cgt - tag - ga an insertion mutation leading to a frameshift a duplication mutation leading to production of too many proteins a point mutation leading to a silent mutation a deletion leading to a frameshift

Explanation:

Compare the original and mutated gene sequences. The mutated sequence has fewer nucleotides, indicating a deletion. The deletion changes the reading - frame of the codons, leading to a frameshift mutation.

Answer:

A deletion leading to a frameshift
