A single nucleotide-pair substitution missense mutation causes a change of a single amino acid into another. Aa a result, the produced protein will have an almost normal sequence except for one amino acid.

On the other hand, a frameshift mutation changes the Open Reading Frame (ORF) of the ribosome. The ribosome moves along the mRNA every three nucleotides (codons) and translates them into amino acids that will form the nascent protein. If there is a frameshift mutation (an insertion or deletion of a number of nucleotides not multiple of three) the ribosome will "read" the mRNA differently and will identify different codons than the wild-type sequence, so a large number of amino acids will be different in the mutated protein.

It is a small RNA molecules that interfere with gene expression.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

miRNA ( micro RNA )

Explanation:

The small RNA molecule that interfere with gene expression are miRNA. The miRNA is micro RNA that are non-coding molecules of RNA. These small RNA regulate gene expression after transcription (post transcription).

The miRNA binds to 3' UTR region (untranslated region ) and halt the process of protein production and thereby silencing mRNA.
