C:maintaining its structure
D:reproduction
Answer:reproduction
The correct answer is option A- The shape and folded structure of a protein molecule are important in determining its function.
Justification: Let's take an example of sickle cell anemia in which the structure of hemoglobin changes due to a change in one amino acid. A small change in amino acid will change the bonds which will affect the structure and folding of the protein. A single change of amino acid can results in the change of protein’s function and structure.
