Question

Which mutation o f the genetic bases gives the proof that codon is triplet and reads in a contagious manner? (A) Frameshift mutation (B) Point mutation (C) Both (a) and (b) (D) Inversion mutation

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.

Frameshift mutation

Point mutation

Both (a) and (b)

Inversion mutation

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 $m RN A$ .
