Frame shifts, deletions, and base substitutions are examples of gene mutations.

Explanation:

Frameshift mutations can cause the production of different amino acids by changing the triplet sets being translated. For example if instead of UGAAGGCGA the frame shifted to GAAGGCGAU. Deletions of a base can create a frameshift.
