• Deletion- Substitution
• Deletion -Frameshift
• All of the above

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

Mutations can benefit humans because they can:

• Cause illness

• Make an organism more suited to live in its environment.

• Make organisms live shorter lives

• Cause organisms to grow extra limbs.
