Question

identify the following type of mutation: original gene sequence: tgc ggt gct taa gcg gtg tac acg ttg mutated gene sequence: tgc ggt gct taa gcg gtc tac acg ttg point frameshift, deletion frameshift, insertion

Explanation:

Compare the original and mutated gene sequences. Only one - base change (GTG to GTC) is observed. A point mutation involves a change in a single - nucleotide base. Frameshift mutations occur due to insertions or deletions that shift the reading frame, which is not the case here as the number of bases remains the same and only one base is changed.

Answer:

Point
