Question

which is a point mutation and not a frameshift mutation? mutagen insertion deletion silent

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A point - mutation is a change in a single nucleotide. A silent mutation is a type of point - mutation where the change in the nucleotide sequence does not result in a change in the amino - acid sequence of the protein. Insertion and deletion are frameshift mutations as they shift the reading frame of the genetic code. A mutagen is an agent that causes mutations, not a type of mutation itself.

Answer:
