Question

Why might a point mutation in DNA make a diffrence inb the level of proteins activity?

Answer 1

Answer:

A point mutation is a type of genetic mutation where the single nucleotide base pair is changes.

There can be a single nucleotide base which is changed, deleted or inserted from a sequence of DNA or RNA.

The proteins produced may be faulty proteins. The consequences can be moderately predictable based on the specificity of the mutation.

Example: Cystic fibrosis, Sickle cell anemia and Tay-Sachs are some of the disease caused by point mutation.
