Why are frameshift mutations considered more impactful on the final protein product than most point mutations There may be more than one answer A frameshift mutation causes downstream changes to the amino acid sequence that typically results in a nonfunctional protein Some point mutations are silent so the final protien product would be the same although the nucleotide sequence is altered O A point mutation besides nonsense generally changes one amino acid in the sequence O None of the above
