The given statement is true.
• Changing the nucleotides sequence in the molecule of a DNA can change the amino acids in the final protein, resulting in protein malfunction.
• The genetic information of an organism is contained within the molecules of DNA.
• The information is stored in the proper order of sequence of bases and is organized into genes, each of the gene constitute the information required for producing a functional product.
• For example, the insulin gene comprises instructions for arranging the protein insulin from individual amino acid, when the sequence of nucleotides gets changed, the amino acids in the final protein also changes.
• This results in the improper functioning of insulin, and it fails to combine with the insulin receptor.
• This change in the sequence of nucleotides would lead to a disease state known as diabetes.
Thus, the given statement is true.
