Frame Shift Mutation (FSM) is a type of genetic mutation that involves the insertion or deletion of one or more base pairs, leading to a change in the reading frame during protein synthesis. This results in the production of an altered protein with potentially harmful effects on the organism. Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are point mutations that involve changes in a single nucleotide in DNA or RNA, but they do not typically cause a shift in the reading frame like FSMs do.
