The Δ508 mutation causes the deletion of three bases from a polypeptide chain. Which statement about this mutation is accurate?
A. The polypeptide chain is unaffected by the mutation because the body can repair the mutation.
B. Because the pattern is in groups of three, the effect of the deletion on the polypeptide chain is minimal.
C. The deletion of the bases has no effect on the rest of the polypeptide chain.
D. In the polypeptide chain, the mutation could change every amino acid that follows the point of the mutation.
