A mutation refers to a change of base pair in DNA. This mainly occurs through a substitution, deletion or insertion of a base pair. In most cases, protein synthesis is disrupted.

Synthesis of a defective protein may result from an alteration in?
a base sequence code
A medical test indicates that a patient has a defective protein. This condition is most likely due to a change in the directions coded in the?
sequence of subunits in DNA.
What is the relationship between DNA and protein production?
the DNA copies its base sequence into messenger RNA which carry the information to the transfer RNA which translates it into a sequence of Amino acids.
Why is the correct sequence of DNA bases important to the production of proteins?
The sequence of DNA is used, through a process involving the different types of RNA, into amino acids to produce the proteins. The sequence is what determines the amino acids used, and thus an incorrect sequence will build a different protein.
What is the level of protein structure is the amino acid sequence of the protein?
Quaternary tertiary secondary primary is the sequence.
Synthesis of a defective protein may result from an alteration in?
a base sequence code
What is it called when the defective protein that results in the production of excessive amounts of thick mucus?
Cystic Fibrosis
One disadvantage of a genetic mutation in a human cheek cell is that?
It may result in the production of a defective protein
What is a A genetic mutation that does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein is called?
a silent mutation.
A medical test indicates that a patient has a defective protein. This condition is most likely due to a change in the directions coded in the?
sequence of subunits in DNA.

As a result of the incorrect sequence of amino acids will be translated into a protein-resulting in a mutation?
Missence mutation
What is the relationship between DNA and protein production?
the DNA copies its base sequence into messenger RNA which carry the information to the transfer RNA which translates it into a sequence of Amino acids.
Which structure determines the sequence of the building blocks in a protein?
DNA determines the sequence of the amino acids (building blocks) in a protein. The sequence of nitrogen bases in the DNA determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
What sequence best represents the relationship between DNA and the traits of an organism?
DNA base sequence amino acid sequence protein shape protein function trait
Where are gene sequence for protein in a prion?
there is no "protein in a prion", because prion is nothing but a protein. The gene sequence of this protein is just normal, with nothing special.
What determines the amino acid sequence in a protein?
The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA, and this is determined by the sequence of nucleotide bases in the DNA.
