What else can I help you with?
Do genes use amino acids?
No, they code for amino acids (in sequence).
How are genes and proteins the same?
both are composed of amino acids.
What do organisms begin to make when they receive new genes?
Amino acids.
What determines the sequence of amino acids in the proteins being made?
DNA genes
What specific amino acid that codes for part of a protein?
That MAY have happened 3.5 billion years ago ... but not today. DNA carries the codes for amino acid sequences. RNA transfers the codes. Ribosomes link the amino acids into proteins. Amino acids don't code for proteins, genes do. The base sequence in the genes codes for how the amino acids should be sequenced to make proteins.
What nucleic acid provides the instructions for producing amino acids?
DNA provides the instructions for producing amino acids through the process of protein synthesis. Genes, which are specific sequences of DNA, contain the information needed to direct the synthesis of proteins by determining the order of amino acids in a protein.
How do living organisms obtain proteins?
Organisms synthesise their own proteins from amino acids. There are 20 amino acids, most organisms can make these for themselves, but some organisms have to find some of these amino acids in the environment and ingest them. The protein synthesis is directed by genes, they control which amino acids are added to a growing chain, which becomes the completed protein strand.
Proteins are formed of building blocks called?
Amino acids held together by peptide bonds.
Proteins are made up of monomers called?
Proteins are made up of monomers called amino acids.
Where are instructions for arranging amino acids located?
The instructions for arranging amino acids are found in the DNA sequences of genes. Each gene contains a specific sequence of nucleotides that encode the information for assembling a specific sequence of amino acids in a protein. This process is carried out during protein synthesis, where mRNA is created from DNA and then used as a template for assembling amino acids in the correct order.
What are the smaller molecules called that make a protein?
Proteins are polymers of amino acids. The instructions for protein synthesis are contained within the genes (on DNA). This instructions are read from an mRNA at the ribosomes to produce the correct sequence of amino acids - a protein.
Is heredity related to chemistry?
Yes. Genes determine heredity. Genes are a combination (chemical combination) of amino acids. Study of such thing is usually referred to as biochemistry.
