missense"
|
|
|
missense mutation
|
a sing base substitution may alter the code replacing one AA with another

|
nonsense mutation
|
changing an AA code with a stop codon
|
|
frameshift mutations
|
deletions or insertions that lead to alterations in the reading frame
|
|
when does a frame shift occure when does it not
|
"occurs=deletion or insertion is not three or a mutiple of three
