In a point mutation, this would have the worst effect on the function of the protein 

• an insertion or deletion near the end of a gene
• an insertion or deletion at the beginning of the gene
• an insertion at the middle of the gene
• a base substitution

• Substitution only
• Deletion only
• Insertions and Deletions

Why is the order of amino acids so important?

• The order of amino acids dictates what shape the protein will fold into.
• It is not important. The protein folding chamber will force the protein to fold into the correct shape.
