T/F: Adding, deleting, or changing one amino acid in a sequence can completely change the protein formed.

Question

Responses

True; the amino acid sequence determines what protein is made, so if it changes, then the protein will change too.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

True; the amino acid sequence determines what protein is made, so if it changes, then the protein will change too.

Changing even one amino acid in a protein can potentially alter its structure and function, possibly leading to a completely different protein than originally intended.
