Solution

The correct option is B Amino acid sequence
The amino acid sequence determines the protein sequence. The triplet codons formed in the mRNA helps in deciding the sequence of the amino acid to be attached. A long chain of amino acid sequence forms the protein.
A single change in any amino acid changes the nature of the protein. Mutations in genetic material like insertion, deletion, inversion, translocation, etc also cause a change in the amino acid sequence. Electrostatic and hydrophobic bonding helps in the formation of the protein structure.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Amino acid sequence'
