Q. Which mutation o f the genetic bases gives the proof that codon is triplet and reads in a contagious manner?

Molecular Basis of Inheritance

Solution:

Frameshift mutation of the genetic bases (deletion or addition) gives the proof that codon is triplet and reads in contagious manner. Deletion or addition of a base pair disturb the reading frame of DNA or $mRNA$.
