The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is the outer covering of animal cells which sits inside the cell wall of plant cells. It is semi-permeable so it allows certain materials to go in and out of the cell. Substances that can pass easily in and out of the cells include oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water. So basically, it is separates the cytoplasm from the outside environment, allowing only certain molecules to enter and exit the cell and also controls the amount of the substances that can go in and out.

If a cytosine base is substituted for by a thymine base in a DNA segment during DNA replication, the sequence could code for the wrong amino acid during translation.

The change in the sequence of DNA is known as mutation.

When a base substitution occurs in the sequence of a DNA during replication, the genetic information in the region where the substitution occurred becomes compromised.

During transcription, the process of encoding genetic information on DNA into RNA, the base substituted is also transcribed along. If cytosine is substituted by thymine, adenine is transcribed instead of guanine.

During the translation of the genetic codes, the wrong amino acids might end up being translated due to the substituted base, leading to a faulty protein.
