Here’s an explanation of each term. Substitution: Swapping one DNA letter for another. Codon: A three-letter code in DNA or RNA that specifies an amino acid. Deletion: Removing one or more DNA letters. mRNA: A molecule carrying genetic instructions from DNA to make proteins. A frameshift mutation is an insertion or deletion involving a number of base pairs that is not a multiple of three, which consequently disrupts the triplet reading frame of a DNA sequence.
