    DNA is copied and these copies are single stranded and called mRNA. mRNA gets translated and the information these mRNA-molecules have gathered from the DNA, triggers specific amino acids to bind and form proteins.

    One amino acid is coded from three bases on the RNA. So for example: ATG codes for one amino acid, and CGA codes for another.

    In many cases, different sequences can code for the same amino acid. For example: ATG and ATC results in the same amino acid.

    That means that a difference in base sequence in the DNA can still result in the same protein being made.

    Yes, they could have the same because of similar codon codes/amino acids.
