Dna Parts Genes Mutations Protein Shape Code Enzyme

Front A few mutations that may cause the protein to have a different shape:

Not all parts of the DNA code for proteins:
Back -If it is an enzyme, then the substrate may no loner fit the active site.
-If it is a structural protein, it may lose its strength.

-Non coding parts of DNA can switch genes on/off so they can/cannot make changes to specific proteins.
-Mutations in these areas can affect how the DNA genes are shown.
