Question

identify the following type of mutation: original dna sequence: tgc gtg ctt aag cga tgt aca cgt tgc mutated dna sequence: tgc ggc tta agc gat gta cac gtt gc frameshift, deletion point frameshift, insertion

Explanation:

A point mutation changes a single - base pair. Here, multiple bases are changed and the reading frame is shifted. Also, bases are deleted (e.g., the last 'T' in the original sequence is missing in the mutated one). A frameshift mutation occurs when nucleotides are inserted or deleted, altering the reading frame. Since bases are deleted, it is a frameshift - deletion mutation.

Answer:

Frameshift, Deletion
