This is a genetic mutation caused by insertions or deletions of a number of nucleotides that are not divisible by three from the DNA sequence. It’s like removing or adding words to your text message, which could make it nonsensical.
Silent Mutation: This is a type of mutation where the change does not affect the function of the protein produced – like if autocorrect changes a word in your text but it doesn’t alter the overall meaning.
Missense Mutation: A missense mutation is when there's a change in one DNA base pair that results in substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene. It’s as if autocorrect replaced one word with another unrelated word, changing your message entirely.
