Question

multiple - choice question a frameshift mutation occurs when... everything after the mutation is affected. the mutation only impacts one codon. rewatch

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A frameshift mutation is caused by an insertion or deletion of nucleotides that are not in multiples of three. This shifts the reading - frame of the genetic code, and thus everything after the mutation is affected as new codons are read. A mutation that only impacts one codon is a point mutation, not a frameshift mutation.

Answer:

everything after the mutation is affected.
