Addition or deletion of a single nucleotide produces _____ mutation ?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Frameshift
DNA is a dynamic and adaptable molecule. As such, the nucleotide sequences found within it are subject to change as the result of a phenomenon called mutation. Insertion or deletion of one or more nucleotides during replication can also lead to another type of mutation known as a frameshift mutation. The outcome of a frameshift mutation is complete alteration of the amino acid sequence of a protein.
So, the correct option is A.
