what situation results from a frameshift mutation
A frameshift mutation (also called a framing error or a reading frame shift) is a genetic mutation caused by indels (insertions or deletions) of a number of nucleotides in a DNA sequence that is not divisible by three.he frameshift mutation will also alter the first stop codon (UAA, UGA or UAG) encountered in the sequence. The polypeptide being created could be abnormally short or abnormally long, and will most likely not be functional.
