Question

If one amino acid in a protein sequence is changed, what could happen?

Answer 1

Normal bodily functions can change.

Answer 2

Answer;

-A change in the protein structure and function occurs

Explanation;

-The sequence and the number of amino acids ultimately determine the protein's shape, size, and function. Each amino acid is attached to another amino acid by a covalent bond, known as a peptide bond, which is formed by a dehydration reaction. The carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of the incoming amino acid combine, releasing a molecule of water.

-A change in nucleotide sequence of the gene’s coding region may lead to a different amino acid being added to the growing polypeptide chain, causing a change in protein structure and function.
