Skin is a barrier that serves as one of the body's first lines of defense against harmful microbes. Specialized immune cells within skin tissue help to fight invading organisms. Past work by an NIH research team showed that commensals can help the body's immune cells fight disease-causing microbes.

Answer:
A. Mutations change the nucleotide sequence of the gene, resulting in a different arrangement of amino acids.
Explanation:
Mutations alter the sequence of nucleotides in a molecule of DNA. DNA is used to create mRNA, which is used to create a chain of amino acids that make a protein. If the mutation changes the sequence of DNA, then the sequence of amino acids and the final protein will be different.
This can affect its structure and function. If the protein is a cell surface protein, and its structure is significantly altered, antibodies may no longer recognise and bind to the protein.
