Expert Solution

Question no-8

8. C.Gene conversation

Frame shift mutation mainly occurred through the process replication. This mutation involves either insertion or deletion of extra bases of DNA. Genetic codon is made up of 3 bases. When a base in a frame is missing or extra base found , a new reading frame will be produced. As a result new codon will be formed. As a result mRNA will synthesis a new protein which is not required in that position. If this codon converts to a stop codon then the protein length will be short and mostly non-functional.
