Generation

A frameshift mutation occurs when nucleotides are inserted into or deleted from DNA in numbers that aren't multiples of three. Since the genetic code is read in groups of three bases (codons), adding or removing one or two nucleotides shifts the entire "reading frame" downstream of the mutation. This is like removing a space from this sentence: "THE CAT ATE THE RAT" becomes "TH**E** CAT ATE THE RAT" → "THE **CAT** ECA TAT HER AT"—everything after the change reads incorrectly. The result is usually a completely different and nonfunctional protein because all amino acids after the mutation are changed or a premature stop codon is created.
