a change in the sequence of amino acids determined by a gene
Protein is in plants becasue a plant is made up of different protein bases.
A mutation
Name for a sequence of DNA bases that code for one protein?
Protein
Every 3 bases specifies either an amino acid or a terminator. The amino acid sequence creates the protein. The terminator ends the protein.
A single change in the primary sequence of bases can result in complete misfolding of proteins. The most likely serious change would be addition or deletion of a base, a substitution would be less likey to be as serious but can also render a protein inactive.
dna in a cell needs protein and chromosomes.
Denaturation- The change in shape of proteins and loss of their function when exposed to heat, acids, bases, and/or heavy metals

Mutations change the order in which the organic bases are in your DNA. These bases code for proteins, and if they change, so the code changes. A change in the code can mean a different protein is made or that proteins are not made at all. The way it could stop proteins from being made is that the change could create a Stop Codon, which stops mRNA from being translated (which would then be transcribed into proteins). If it forms a Start Codon, then the wrong section of DNA could be translated and the wrong proteins be synthesised. There is not always a change in to proteins synthesised, as for each amino acid in a protein there is more than one code. A mutation could change the code for a protein into a different code, but for the same protein. In such a case there would be no change.
The primary structure of a protein is the sequence of amino acids in the protein. This is determined by the sequence of bases in the DNA ie by the genetic code. Each group of three bases in DNA codes for one amino acid in the protein ie it is a triplet code.
Every 3 bases specifies either an amino acid or a terminator. The amino acid sequence creates the protein. The terminator ends the protein.
