Final answer:

A deletion mutation with two fewer nucleotides can result in a frameshift mutation, leading to significant changes in the amino acid sequence and protein function.


Explanation:

Identification of mutation: The mutation that caused the difference in the protein can be identified as a deletion since there are two fewer nucleotides in the sequence compared to the original.

Effect on amino acid sequence: A deletion mutation can lead to a frameshift mutation, altering the reading frame and potentially resulting in a completely different amino acid sequence, affecting the protein's function.
