A mutation that inserts or deletes one or two nucleotides is usually more harmful than a mutation that substitutes one base for another because —

• it changes one amino acid in the sequence of a protein

• it shifts the reading frame for the rest of the code causing many errors

• the codon consists of three nucleotides coding for an amino acid

• the chromosomes fail to separate resulting in trisomy 21
