Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Double deletion mutations can sometimes cancel out the effects of a frameshift mutation by restoring the original reading frame. This occurs because the deletion of two nucleotides will shift the reading frame back to its original position. Transition and transversion mutations are base substitutions and do not address the issue of frameshifting. Missense mutations involve a single nucleotide change that alters the identity of an amino acid but still maintains the reading frame, so it is not likely to correct a frameshift mutation.
