Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
The two types of frameshift mutations are:
- Insertions (addition of one or more nucleotides not in a multiple of three)
- Deletions (loss of one or more nucleotides not in a multiple of three)

Both change the mRNA reading frame downstream, usually altering all subsequent amino acids and often producing a premature stop codon.
