Answer:Frameshift mutations are likely to change more than one amino acid, infact a completely irrelevant protein with altered amino acid sequence is produced.

Explanation:

Frameshift mutation is due to addition or deletion of bases. From that point onwards the reading frame shifts, different set of codons read. Frameshift mutations are likely to change more than one amino acid, infact a completely irrelevant protein with altered amino acid sequence is produced.

Frame shift mutation can lead to thalassemia due to premature chain termination and run-on-polypeptude that are non-functional.

Testing Two-Point Discrimination
yanalaym [24]
Two-point discrimination is the minimal distance which someone can perceive two different stimuli that given simultaneously. An area with higher receptor density will have a lower two-point discrimination result since the distance between receptor is lower. 
The area that needs a high sensitivity like the palm of the <span>hands(especially the fingertips), face</span>, and tongue should be the one with lowest two-point discrimination.

In this report, a<span>nterior forearm two-point discrimination result is the lower than the fingertip. This result is suspicious since the forearm shouldn't more sensitive than the fingertip. Fingertip two-point discrimination is around 2-6mm and forearm should be much higher than 6mm.
