Could 2 humans have some differences in their DNA sequence for insulin yet still make the exact same insulin proteins?

i would think they could due to the fact that more than one codon can code for an amino acid

Why is pig insulin being used as a substitute of human insulin?
Insulin from pigs is cheaper and more readily available than insulin from humans.
Which molecule from humans is inserted into bacteria to cause them to produce insulin?
No. When genes from humans are inserted into bacteria, the bacteria acts as factories that produce chemicals of importance to humans, such as insulin.
Where do humans obtain essential amino acids?
Humans obtain the amino acids that their bodies need through the food they eat, particularly foods rich in proteins.
An example of the maintenance of homeostasis in humans is the action of glucagon and insulin in regulating the?
Blood sugar.
What are differences between plants and humans?
Plants are autotroph and humans and animals are heterotroph.
How have humans altered receptor proteins?
They changed the amino acid sequence of the proteins.
Could two humans have some differences in their DNA sequences for insulin yet still make the exact same insulin proteins?
yes. amino acids can be coded for by more that one codon. https://www.msu.edu/course/lbs/145/smith/s04/graphics/campbell_17.4.gif
What is One difference between the gene that codes for insulin and the gene that codes for testosterone in humans?
The gene of insulin has a different sequence of molecular bases than the gene of testosterone.
What is the subunit that proteints are made from?
the subunits that proteins are made from are called amino acids , there are about 20 common amino acids that are used in the synthesis of proteins in humans , and proteins differ in the number , types , and sequence of amino acids .
Why is pig insulin being used as a substitute of human insulin?
Insulin from pigs is cheaper and more readily available than insulin from humans.
Pros and cons of gm insulin?
gm insulin is specific to humans unlike animal insulin which is specific to that animal
Why are proteins required for children?
Almost every essential function in humans is carried out by proteins; all humans need proteins.
Which molecule from humans is inserted into bacteria to cause them to produce insulin?
No. When genes from humans are inserted into bacteria, the bacteria acts as factories that produce chemicals of importance to humans, such as insulin.
Does human insulin come from a human or an animal?
Humans, who are not diabetic, make the insulin they need within their own bodies.
What produces insulin that can be used to treat diabetes in humans?
Bacteria
Why do humans need proteins?
humans need proteins to make good muscles and health.
How do proteins benefit humans?
Almost every single cellular function we do is performed by proteins.
