Question

quizleet Using the information in the introduction on mutations and your knowledge of proteins, develop a hypothesis to explain how the changes in the MC1R protein amino acid sequence might affect its function.

Answer 1

Answer:

Dark colour occurs.

Explanation:

The amino acid changes in the MC1R protein may change the structure and function of the protein because the amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. This change in amino acid leads to increased production of eumelanin, which results in the dark color of the protein. So we can say that change in the amino acids leads to the change in the structure and function of MC1R protein.
