Chapter 18, Problem 18.68QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for protein cannot carry out its biological function on a genetic mutation that replaces one amino acid with the other amino acids has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The primary structure is a sequence of various $\text{α-aminoacids}$. These $\text{α-aminoacids}$ are joint together in a series by covalent bonding also known as a peptide bond. The three-dimensional structure of the protein is determined by a sequence of these amino acids.

The information contained by the gene dictates the primary structure of proteins. Therefore the sequence of amino acid is directly related to the gene expression. Gene carries all the important information that is transferred from the parents or inherited from the parents.
