When is a single base substitution mutation least likely to be deleterious?

Can a frameshift mutation result from a base pair substitution in which one pair of bases is replaced in a gene

  • Answer:

    It does seem so because a frame shift mutation is when there is an addition or subtraction of nucleotides and is not evenly divisible. So, if one of the pairs of bases is replaced by a nucleotide, then you have a frameshaft mutation. I Got Cha Back!
