True
Yes.
By changing a gene's instructions for making a protein, a mutation can cause the protein to malfunction or to be missing entirely. When a mutation alters a protein that plays a critical role in the body, it can disrupt normal development or cause a medical condition. A condition caused by mutations in one or more genes is called a genetic disorder. So, yes.

If one base in a codon was changed, this would be a point mutation. This may not cause any change in the structure of the protein, or it could be severely damaging. Since most amino acids have more than one codon, it's possible that the mutation would result in one of the other codons for that amino acid. In that case, there would be no change in the sequence of amino acids, and no change in the structure or function of the protein. A point mutation might also result in a codon that codes for a totally different amino acid, which can cause a genetic disorder. One example of a genetic disorder caused by a point mutation is sickle cell anemia. It's also possible that the point mutation could cause the codon to code for a stop signal.

If the gene defect(s) are expressed during fetal development, the condition is present at birth. This is the congenital form of the disorder
Yes. Change in the sequence of nitrogen base can be regarded as a mutation.
Many times a change in the base sequence during DNA replication will cause a mutation but if it is the 3rd base often there will be no mutation . It will often give the same protein. The term is genetic "wobble" and is seen when mRNA and tRNA match do not match at the third base.
The base word of "disorder" is "order."
a mutation
Some genes encode products that regulate the translation of other genes, or the activity of other proteins, so one small change will affect a lot of other genes/proteins. If that change affects something critical it might lead to a genetic disorder.
Mis sense: change of a base resulting in a different amino acid Non sense: change of a base resulting in a stop codon Addition: extra base is added Deletion: a base is deleted Substituion: a base is replaced.
