DNA Mutations

DNA mutations are critical alterations in the genetic code that can impact protein synthesis. Point mutations involve a substitution of a single base, exemplified by changes between sequences such as AUG CUG GAA CGA CUG UGA and AUG CUG GAG CGA CUG UGA. On the other hand, frameshift mutations occur due to the insertion or deletion of a base, affecting downstream codons, as seen in sequences like AUG CUG GAA CGA CUG UGA and AUG CUG AAC GAC UGU GA. These mutations are essential in studies of genetics, evolution, and disease.
