Solution
The correct option is C Protein structure As a result of mutation, a change in DNA base pair sequence or number occurs. During the process of transcription, the DNA nucleotides will code onto the mRNA. This is then undergoing the process of translation which produces proteins. The protein will be malformed if the DNA base is altered.
