    Genetic mutations occur rarely in somatic and germ cells and are of two types: point mutations and insertion/deletion mutations. Point mutations result in silent, missense, or nonsense mutations, while insertion/deletion mutations always cause a frameshift mutation. A point mutation changes a single base pair, and can be silent, lead to a different amino acid via a missense mutation, or cause a premature stop codon with a nonsense mutation. Insertion/deletion mutations add or remove base pairs, shifting the reading frame and changing multiple amino acids before a stop codon.

    Genetic Mutation

    Genetic mutations are very rare and only occur in somatic and germ cells. There are
    two different types of genetic mutations; point mutations and insertion/deletion
    mutations. Point mutations usually result in either a silent, missense, or nonsense
    mutation. While insertion/deletion mutations always result in a frameshift mutation.
