what are the consequences of a mutation in the bases of the DNA on the activity on enzymes?
changes based (primary structure)
bases of DNA code for order of bases in mRNA
changing a codon, changes the order of amino acids in the primary structure of the protein
this in turn can affect the tertiary structure of the protein, which in turn can lead to faulty or non-functioning enzymes
