Point mutations involve single nucleotide changes, and silent mutations do not affect the protein outcome. Frameshift mutations, caused by nucleotide insertions or deletions, can drastically change the protein sequence.
Point mutations are changes in a single nucleotide of DNA. A silent mutation, a type of point mutation, does not affect the final protein product as the altered codon still codes for the same amino acid. In contrast, frameshift mutations occur due to the insertion or deletion of nucleotides, leading to a shift in the reading frame of codons and significantly altering the resulting protein sequence.
