|
It means that the amino acids will be different, meaning that they will be a completely different shape and have a different function
|
|
|
It results in a genetic inherited disorder

|
Mostly unnaffected by the mutation
|
|
|
Sometimes lead to changes in the protein that it codes for

Detailed explanation-1: -Sometimes, gene variants (also known as mutations) prevent one or more proteins from working properly. By changing a gene’s instructions for making a protein, a variant can cause a protein to malfunction or to not be produced at all.
Detailed explanation-2: -Missense Mutation A missense mutation is a DNA change that results in different amino acids being encoded at a particular position in the resulting protein. Some missense mutations alter the function of the resulting protein.
Detailed explanation-3: -A nonsense mutation is a genetic mutation in a DNA sequence that results in a shorter, unfinished protein product. DNA is a chain of many smaller molecules called nucleotides.
Detailed explanation-4: -Some mutations do not result in changes in the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein and can be described as silent mutations. Other mutations result in abnormal protein products. Mutations can introduce new alleles into a population of organisms and increase the population’s genetic variation.
Detailed explanation-5: -The gene may produce an altered protein, it may produce no protein, or it may produce the usual protein. Most mutations are not harmful, but some can be. A harmful mutation can result in a genetic disorder or even cancer. Another kind of mutation is a chromosomal mutation.
