A gene has a deletion of one base in the middle of its coding region. Another copy has a substitution of one base in the same place. Which statement is the most likely?
The deletion is likely to do more harm, as it changes the reading of every codon after it.
The substitution does more harm, as it changes the reading of every codon after it.
Both do the same harm.
Neither can change the protein.
