Change the sequence of the nucleotides.

Explanation:

The genetic information is specified by the order of four bases (A, C, G y T) which constitute the molecule of DNA. Proteins are polymers of 20 amino acids, and their sequence determines their structure and function.

The information in a nucleotide sequence is transferred to the sequence of 20 different amino acids using a coding system, called the genetic code, with sets of three nucleotides (codons) specifying the amino acids.

If there is a mutation in a base pair of the coding region, that is, nucleotides are different, or they are in the wrong order, it may result in a polypeptide finished prematurely or in a polypeptide with a wrong amino acid sequence.
