उत्तर
Characteristics will remain the same even if protein changes.
Explanation:
The statement is false because an organism's traits are largely influenced by the proteins it produces. The amino acid sequence in a protein determines its structure and function, and proteins are the byproducts of gene expression. As a result, a change in the protein that a gene produces can affect the characteristic of the organism for which it codes. This is why DNA mutations can have a significant impact on an organism's phenotype.
