Answer:

Small deletions may remove one or a few base pairs within a gene, while larger deletions can possibly remove an entire gene or several neighboring genes. The deleted DNA may alter the function of the resulting protein(s).

Answer:

If one or two bases are deleted the translational frame is altered resulting in a garbled message and nonfunctional product. A deletion of three or more bases leave the reading frame intact. A deletion of one or more codons results in a protein missing one or more amino acids. This may be deleterious or not.
