NOTE could also lead to nonsense
Partial reading frame shift
Both an insertion and a deletion of bases within a
gene can cause a frame shift effect where each
codon no longer has the correct triplet of three
bases. In this example, three codons have been
affected, along with the amino acids they code for.
The error is limited to the codons including and
between the insertion and deletion. There is no
biological activity if the amino acids altered are
important to the functioning of the resulting protein.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Codons consist of three nucleotide bases which are encoded for specific amino acids which ultimately results in production of proteins. The way or process in which genetic information is translated into amino acids is basically reading the frame.
