What occurs during frame shift mutation

Biology
1 answer:
ICE Princess25 [194]4 years ago
5 0

Answer: There is addition or deletion of one or more nucleotides in a DNA sequence which alters the original reading frame of the DNA.

Explanation: In frameshift mutation, one or more nucleotides is added to or deleted from a DNA sequence resulting in altered reading frame.

For example, a DNA sequence having an original reading frame: (ACT)(GAG)(CCG)(TAT)(G is changed to (ACG)(AGC)(CGT)(ATG) when a thymidine nucleotide at position 3 is deleted. This frameshift mutation will result in the synthesis of complementary DNA strand with an altered nucleotide sequence during replication and an RNA sequence with an altered sequence during transcription and a protein with an altered amino acid sequence.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Molecules  carrying amino acids are positioned in the  ribosome’s two docking sites.
