Frameshift

Develop a model which explains how point and frameshift mutations can impact a protein.
Frameshift mutations include deletions and additions. With the addition/deletion of one nucleotide pair in a gene, this can cause a shift in an entire series of codons, leading to the creation of an incorrect or malfunctioning protein.
