Answer:

A frameshift mutation can be described as a genetic mutation in which a single nucleotide or more than one nucleotide is inserted or deleted from the sequence of the DNA. As the gene expresses itself in the form of triplets of a genetic code, insertion or deletion can cause devastating changes in the genetic code due to which wrong proteins will be synthesized.

Frameshift mutations can be more noticeable than the substitution mutation. In a substitution mutation, only one of the nucleotides is shifted with another. The entire genetic code is not affected by it.

<span>First determining if the cells in the tumor have common and the unique genetic and biochemical marker and if they are present, that would clearly mean that they all were created from a initially mutated cell and formed the marker and these are considered as monoclonal. If that is not the case and cells do not have a common origin, these are called as polyclonal.</span>
