Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A cell begins to produce a new type of protein. This is most likely due to an alteration of the
A
structure of the cell membrane
B
sequence of bases in a section of a chromosome
C
chemical makeup of the cytoplasm
D
shape of the antibodies produced by the nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -They are produced in a similar two-step process in all organisms called protein synthesis – DNA is first transcribed into RNA, then RNA is translated into protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -Types of Mutations Mutation is a process that causes a permanent change in a DNA sequence. Changes to a gene’s DNA sequence, called mutations, can change the amino acid sequence of the protein it codes for-but they don’t always. A point mutation is a change to single DNA letter.

Detailed explanation-3: -A frameshift mutation is one that will most likely cause a change in the protein’s structure and function.

Detailed explanation-4: -A gene is a segment of DNA that provides the code to construct a protein.
