Answer 1

A frameshift mutation can occur when either one or two nucleotides are deleted or inserted in a DNA sequence. Among the options you've provided, the correct response indicating a way a frameshift mutation could occur is:

• two nucleotides are deleted

This deletion shifts the reading frame of the codons during translation, potentially altering the entire protein sequence downstream.
