A change in a codon may change the amino acid, which can change the protein.
|
True

|
False
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A mutation in the amino acid sequence may alter the structure of a protein but it does not necessarily alter its function, although, the mutation at specific sites such as conserved residues can bring about a change in the structure and function of the protein.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The given statement is true.
Detailed explanation-3: -change a codon to one that encodes the same amino acid and causes no change in the protein produced. These are called silent mutations. change an amino-acid-coding codon to a single “stop” codon and cause an incomplete protein. This can have serious effects since the incomplete protein probably won’t function.
