Keep on reading to learn what makes a pony a pony and a horse a horse (of course, of course). The simplest answer to the question at hand is that a pony is a small horse. They are both members of the same species and have the same scientific name (Equus ferus caballus). However, there are official ways of deciding who is a horse and who is a pony. The number one distinguishing factor between horses and ponies is height.
What is the difference between Point and Frameshift Mutation. A point mutation is a change in a base pair, while a frameshift mutation is a base insertion or base deletion. Point mutations are transitions or transversions, frameshift mutations are not. A single point mutation only affects one amino acid, while a single frameshift mutation affects the entire subsequent amino acids.
1 Sometimes the term point mutation is used to describe insertions or deletions of a single base pair (which has more of an adverse effect on the synthesized protein due to the nucleotides' still being read in triplets, but in different frames: a mutation called a frameshift mutation). single point mutation can change the whole DNA sequence. Changing one purine or pyrimidine may change the amino acid that the nucleotides code for. Point mutations may arise from spontaneous mutations that occur during DNA replication. The rate of mutation may be increased by mutagens.
