Hydroxyapatite refers to one of the prime components of and an important element of usual teeth and bone. It forms the matrix of teeth and mineral of the bone. It is the hydroxyapatite molecule that gives the teeth and bones their rigidity. These molecules can combine together to produce microscopic clumps.  

About seventy percent of the bone comprises of the inorganic mineral hydroxyapatite that comprises calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, calcium hydroxide, calcium fluoride, and citrate.

The formula for hydroxyapatite is Ca5(PO4)3(OH) which means that the elements are Calcium, Phosphorus, Oxygen and Hydrogen.

Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the formula Ca, but it is usually written Ca₁₂ to denote that the crystal unit cell comprises two entities. Hydroxyapatite is the hydroxyl endmember of the complex apatite group.

<h2>A change in one base of the gene sequence is known as point mutation.</h2>

Explanation:

Question 2 is incomplete.

3. A mutation that only affects a single nucleotide of nucleic acid is known as Point Mutation.

In Point mutations there is substitution of one base for another.

Example:                TAT TGG CTA            

                               TAC TGG CTA

The  TAT changes to TAC which shows point mutation.

4. Yes. The point mutation have an effect on the outcome compared to the normal sequence.

When there is a change in one base of the gene it results into causing disease such as cancer, sickle cell anemia.
