Proteins and nucleic acids are both essential macromolecules that play crucial roles in biological systems. They are composed of smaller building blocks; proteins are made of amino acids, while nucleic acids (like DNA and RNA) are made of nucleotides. Both types of molecules are involved in the storage, transmission, and expression of genetic information, with proteins often performing functions dictated by the sequences found in nucleic acids. Additionally, both proteins and nucleic acids can form complex three-dimensional structures that are vital for their specific functions in the cell.
Similar amino acid sequences can indicate similar protein structure and function. Hydrophobic residues will orient the same way in solution as will polar residues. Charged amino acids are commonly found within or near the active sites enzymes. Similar amino acid sequence can also indicate a similar evolutionary origin known as convergent evolution. This is the same for unique proteins that evolved from a common ancestral protein which is known as divergent evolution.

An amino acid.
If the substituted amino acid is similar enough to the correct amino acid, maybe nothing will happen. But if it is very different and changes the three-dimensional structure of the protein significantly, then it could have severe consequences, including death.
It folds into a protein When translation ends, the new amino acid chain folds into a protein.
proteins are made up of different amino acids linked together
Insulin is a protein.

Say the part of the gene that is mutated does not change the amino acid sequence of the protein made through the mRNA; hydrophobic amino acid stays hydrophobic. We have many of these small nucleotide polymorphisms in our genomes and they are useful trackers of human migrations, for instance.
No
It is a nucleic acid.
If you need to decrease the uric acid in your blood, that is done by eating less protein. Uric acid is a byproduct of protein digestion.
Amino acid denatured or degraded the components of protein to start life processes.
You eat clams
Amino Acid! ;D
The, or an, amino acid.
No. Since a mutation in the DNA may not necessarily result in a change to the encoded amino acid in the protein sequence, it is entirely possible. Further, the protein function will likely not change when an amino acid is replaced with one of similar chemical properties. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. This is the field that molecular evolutionary biologists study.
