Briefly, the DNA in our cells is translated by cell machinery to make proteins. ... The DNA sequence of a gene determines the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein. Thus, any changes in DNA sequence can result in changes in protein function. This is called a mutation. Hope this helps

Point mutations are the substitution of a single nucleotide, which creates a different codon and therefore a different amino acid. the incorporation of a different amino acid in the protein can completely disrupt the normal function of proteins.

Suppose you have monohybrid flowers in your garden and find that they produce black seeds to brown seeds in the ratio of 3:1. If

Dvinal [7]

Hybrid = having one recessive and one dominant allele
This means that all of the flowers must have the genotype Bb.
Knowing this, let's make a Punnet Square.

$\begin{tabular}{ l c } & B \ \ \ \ b\\ B & \boxed{BB}\boxed{Bb} \\ b & \boxed{Bb\ }\boxed{\ bb} \\ \end{tabular}$

As you can see, 3 of these are going to have the dominant trait and 1 is going to have the recessive trait. This corresponds to our 3:1 in our question, meaning that the black seeds must be dominant and the brown ones recessive.

Because they are dominant, the genotype for black seeds could be BB or Bb.
