A frameshift mutation occurs when nucleotides are inserted or deleted from the DNA sequence in numbers that are not multiples of three. This alters the reading frame of the genetic code.
Among the options provided, **two nucleotides are deleted** would be one way that a frameshift mutation could occur. This deletion changes the grouping of the remaining nucleotides, altering all downstream amino acids.
