An organism"s phenotype is dictated by its genotype aka it is the manifestation of genotype: name the different kinds of mutations that can occur. Spontaneous mutations (occur naturally) vs. inducible mutations (caused by a mutagen) Frameshift mutations occurs when the addition or loss of dna bases changes a gene"s reading frame.
