why does frameshift mutation usually cause more defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation

I believe this is because the frameshift mutations can affect many amino acids. 

Frame shift mutation is produced by either insertion of deletion of one or more new bases. Since the reading frame begins at the start site, any mRNA produced from mutated DNA sequence will be read out of frame after the point of the insertion or deletion, thus producing a nonsense protein.

Explain what would happen to animals if and when the water disappears cause and effect​
FinnZ [79.3K]

We can’t predict what will happen when a predator is lost from an ecosystem; there are too many unknown ways that species interact, and the processes take place over scales of tens to thousands of square kilometers. The true effect of a loss can’t be known until years or decades after it has taken place.
