Answer:

A . The entire sequence of amino acids is changed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The entire sequence of amino acids is changed when the mutation occurs in the protein because amino acid is the building block from which protein is made. Mutation is the sudden change that is occur in the genetic makeup i.e. DNA when the cell is exposed to radioactive radiation of chemicals. So due to this change, the sequence of amino acids changed and they work differently.
