Insertion and deletion result in a frameshift mutation. Frameshift mutations caused by "indel" mutations, meaning insertion or deletion mutations. These mutations shift the way the DNA is read. A frameshift mutation can throw off all of the nucleotide that follow in a DNA sequence, making them particularly likely to lead to significant consequences.

A frameshift mutation is a mutation that leads to a change in the reading frame potentially changing the translation of the gene.
Insertion and deletion are the types of mutations that may cause a frameshift mutation. By inserting or deleting a base pair or whole sequences of DNA, the reading frame is altered and if these mutations interrupt a codon or are not multiple of three then the final translation of the gene won't be the same thanks to the triplet nature of gene expression by codons.

When a body is buried directly in the soil, both toxic chemical products of decomposition and nutrient-rich decomposition fluids

ValentinkaMS [17]

Cadaver Decomposition Island

- When a body is buried directly in the soil, then it is subject to decomposition by insects and microorganisms.

- During this process, a self-digestion of the cells occurs as well as anaerobic decomposition of animal proteins resulting in a release of various chemical components.

- This nutrient-rich fluid is trapped in the soil matrix for a long period of time resulting in the formation of Cadaver Decomposition Island

- The formation of Cadaver Decomposition Island is associated with increased microbial biomass and activity.

When DNA is copied, sometimes a new, incorrect, base pairing appears within the structure of a new DNA molecule replacing origin

lions [1.4K]

It would be substitution because an incorrect base pair is being replaced.... hopefully thats right?
