Mutations leads to the production of a non-functional protein. Explain why.

  1. Mutations changes triplets/codons after that point and causes a frame shift

  2. Changes amino acid sequence after this as it codes for different amino acids 

  3. Affects hydrogen/ionic/sulfur bonds but not peptide bond

  4. Changes tertiary structure of protein so it becomes non-functional
