Practice problem
How is a frameshift mutation different from a substitution mutation?
A frameshift mutation changes the total amount of DNA, a substitution does not.
A frameshift mutation only affects one codon, a substitution affects all following codons.
A frameshift mutation often has no effect on the protein product, unlike a substitution.
They have the same mechanism and effect.
Type a concept, like “slope” or “photosynthesis”.
