- "THE DOG SAW THE CAT" → "THE OGS AWT HEC AT": single‑base deletion (frameshift deletion — the "D" is deleted, shifting the reading frame).
- "A G C T G T" → "A G C T G A T": single‑base insertion (frameshift insertion — an extra "A" is inserted, shifting the reading frame).

Both change the downstream reading frame and thus alter all following codons.
