Mutations can cause a cell to produce an incorrect number of proteins during protein synthesis and the phenotype of the organism would be different from what it normally would have been. Some examples are when a cat has 6 toes or a lemur has white fur.
A mutation in a gene can happen by addition, deletion or substitution of base pairs. This means that the order of the bases will change- a new base may be added, a base may be lost, or one base may be substituted for another. The result of these mutations is that it causes the DNA to code for a different protein. If a mutation occurs in a sex cell, the mutation can be passed on to an offspring and affect the offspring's phenotype.

Mutations can make the protein synthesise incorrectly making diseases or weak parts in your body. Mutations can affect protein synthesis in cells by affecting the protein, messing up the whole DNA sequence and making the organism different from other average organisms.
That's a tricky question. On most levels, phenotype is unique to each organism. A phenotype of a bacteria is very different from phenotype of e.g. human.Although, with a bit of cleverness, assuming that bacteria are the most common and the most numerous organisms on Earth, it could be correctly said that bacterial body is the most common phenotype.Even better, if we took the phenotype as a molecular level of phenotype, it could be said that DNA replicating, to-RNA-transcripting body, body with protein synthesis based on mRNA and ribosomes is the most common phenotype. :)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This question can be interpreted a few different ways. If you were asking for the answer to a definition then it would be called the wild type, where the changed phenotype is the mutant.
The ribosomes are the " workbench " of protein synthesis with the rough ER accepting some polypeptide chains from the ribosomes studding it into it's lumen for modification. Then the modified proteins are shipped to the Golgi for further modification and shipment to wherever they are needed.
no not always due to some phenotypes having more than one gene sequence that affects it, eg; the base sequence for a certain enzyme's synthesis could be TTT but by substituting a T with a C to make TTC in mutation could still be a code for the same enzyme...
Due to a genotype, which basically mean codes that can produce proteins, a phenotype is observed. Genes contain information for protein synthesis. The proteins produced in turn produce an externally observable character or trait. This external appearance produced due to the effect of a genotype is phenotype.
That process is known as synthesis, where you combine different pieces of information to create a cohesive whole.
