I was trying to tag my fiancee in a picture and as I clicked post, I was directed to a page on Instagram that told me to put in my phone number for a security verify. The only problem is... I don't have a cell phone.
Point mutations in the coding region of DNA can have one of three consequences: 1) No effect if the mutated codon still codes for the same amino acid. 2) It can result in the protein having one different amino acid. The effect on protein function can vary from no effect to devastating diseases such as cycstic fibrosis.
This is possible because the DNA sequence code of a particular gene is copied into a protein sequence code. DNA determines what proteins are made, how much and when.Proteins include enzymes which speed up reactions, hormones, immunity proteins, structural proteins and many more. change in DNA sequence can mean a change in protein sequence. So basically. DNA is a chemical which makes up genes and the gene's code is copied into a protein.
