1.If the DNA is not copied correctly, what effect will it have on the protein that is made?

2. If the protein is not the correct structure, what effect will that have on the trait?

3. Why is it important for the structure of genes/DNA to remain normal and unchanged?  What happens if a mutation happens? (Please include the following terms in your answer: gene, mutation, protein, trait).​

Error occurrence in the formation of RNA and arrangement of the hydrogen bases will cause changes in the arrangement of amino acids thus an erroneous protein structure which will negatively effect the process or trait it is responsible for. Example, melanin a protein responsible for eye color and skin color,if its structure is inexact it will probably cause disorders in whatever trait is responsible from (that explains why some people have two different eye colors).In conclusion genes or dna must be unchanged and mutations will lead to negative consequences and disabilities.
