Correct Answer: Frame shift mutation


Solution : The correct answer is Frameshift mutation.

A frameshift mutation is insertion or deletion of nucleotide bases. A genetic code is read in triplets, and in frameshift mutation the altered nucleotide bases are not multiple of three. Examples of frameshift mutation are cystic fibrosis and thalessemia. Thalessemia is an inherited blood disorder in which hemoglobin is not made enough in body to support the respiratory activities and it is managed through blood transfusions.
