The triplet sequence of gene expression by codons is associated with ______________.

  1. silent mutations

  2. neutral mutation

E Correct answer
Explanation

A frameshift mutation 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. Due to the triplet nature of gene expression by codons, the insertion or deletion can change the reading frame.
