Answer:

hi there, proteins are related to DNA because DNA carries the instruction for synthesizing proteins, which can code for a certain amino acids based on the sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

A change in base sequence can be either good or bad. But... Usually... a mutation could be a main factor that changes the sequence of the protein, which causes it to code for a different amino acid than the original. Base pairs could either substituted, deleted, or inserted, which usually are what a mutation could be caused by or consisted of. This is also known as a gene mutation, which are changes in genes .

hope that helps!!!
