Assume that a transition mutation results in an amino acid substitution in the resulting polypeptide.What level of protein structure might be affected as a result?
A)primary structure
B)secondary structure
C)tertiary structure
D)quaternary structure
E)All levels might be affected by a single amino acid substitution
