Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene can affect the function of that gene in cells that express it. This is because the nucleotide sequence determines the amino acid sequence of the protein encoded by the gene, and changes in the amino acid sequence can alter the structure and function of the protein.
