2. Many people believe that a mutation will always result in the formation of a deadly tumor, or the development of a major body defect.

Explain why this is incorrect.

. There are multiple types of mutations in DNA. mutations occur when a single base is changed to a different base pair. mutations remove one or more bases from a segment of DNA, resulting in a frameshift mutation. mutations are also considered frameshift mutations, and occur when one or more extra bases are added to a segment of DNA.
