• substitution

• nonsense

Why are insertion and deletion mutations so harmful?

• They change all of the codons from the mutation on down the line, which changes the amino acid sequence

• They insert things that an organism doesn't need.

• They often delete things that organisms need.

• Insertion and deletions are not any more harmful than substitution mutations.

A mutation can occur if a base pair is ____________, deleted, or substituted for another.

• modified

• added

• transferred
