Frame-shift mutation | Point mutation |
Mispairing of DNA molecule causes the Frameshift mutations, changes in single base pair nucleotide sequence usually insertion or deletion results in these mutations. | Point mutations occur when a single nucleotide is replaced with another nucleotide base. |
The whole information coded in the amino acid changes due to a Mutation occurs in the sequence of DNA molecule in a frameshift mutation. | The mutation occurs in the sequence of a DNA molecule. |
Gene mutation | Chromosomal mutation |
It is a change in nucleotide sequence, in a particular gene. | It is a change in several genes, in the chromosome. |
Gene mutation is an only slight structural alteration. | Chromosomal mutations are either numerical or structural changes in the entire DNA strand. |
