What is a gene? What does "base sequence" mean? If the base sequence of a segment of a molecule of DNA is changed, will the base sequence of the mRNA made during transcription be changed? If the base sequence of the mRNA is changed will the sequence of amino acids obtained during translation change? If the primary structure of a protein is changed, will it's function change? If the function of the protein changes, will the organism have a different characteristic? Do introns get read during translation?

Step 1

Hello! Since you have posted multiple questions, we are answering only the first two questions. Kindly repost the remaining questions to get them answered. Thank you.

Step 2

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and Ribonucleic acid (RNA) are the most important biomolecules, which are responsible for the storage and reading of the genetic information. They are both linear polymers, consisting of sugars, phosphates and nitrogen bases.
