Yes, DNA carries the instructions for the correct sequence of nucleic acids in a protein. These instructions are encoded in the DNA molecule as a specific sequence of nucleotide bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine). Through a process called transcription, the DNA sequence is transcribed into a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule, which is then translated into a specific sequence of amino acids to form a protein.

How does the sequence of DNA affect the function of a protein?
The sequence of nucleotides in DNA molecule is equivalent and is closely related to an amino acid sequence in the protein molecule. If for any reason the sequence of DNA nucleotides changes it will be reflected in amino acid sequence in the protein. Moreover, the correct sequence of amino acid in the protein will form the correct three-dimensional structure, or tertiary structure, that will confer the biological activity to protein. If a wrong amino acid is translated from a mutated gene in the DNA could change the spatial structure of the protein and therefore modify or erase its biological function.
Gene contains instructions for assembling?
Proteins. They determine the sequence of amino acids which in turn determines the primary structure of a protein.
What is A region of DNA that contains instructions for the amino acid sequence of a particular protein called?
A section of DNA that codes for a protein (or other functional product) is known as a gene.
What is the correct sequence of the transfer of information in most organisms?
Dna to Rna to Proteins
What kinds of molecules contain the instructions for ordering amino acids in proteins?
what kind of molecules contain the insructions for ordering amino acid in protein
What Reads the blueprint and brings and inserts correct amino acid in making a protein sequence?
tRNA (transfer ribose nucleic acid.)
What determines the sequence of amino-acids in a protein?
The DNA carries the instructions for protein synthesis. These instructions are copied onto mRNA, which then travels to the ribosome. At the ribosome, the mRNA is translated into the correct sequence of amino acids.
What is a sequence in DNA that codes for a protein and thus determines a trait?
A gene is a DNA sequence that codes for a protein.
What is a type of nucleic acid that carries the codes for making proteins?
DNA is the nuceic acid.Base sequence codes for protein.
What are this type of nucleic acid carries the information needed to make proteins?
DNA carries the information.Base sequence determine the protein.
Instructions on dna that code for specific proteins or traits?
Yes. The sequence of nitrogen bases in DNA determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein. The sequence of amino acids determines the structure and function of a protein.

What is the main function of nucleic acids?
The main function of nucleic acids is to store and transmit genetic information and use that information to direct the synthesis of new protein.
Is amylase a carbohydrate lipid protein or nucleic acid?
Insulin is a protein.
Is every cell capable of making each type of protein needed by the body?
Yes and no. The basic machinery is there, but the instructions may not be. For example, red blood cells do not have nucleic acid at all. In other cells the nucleic acid instructions may be present but "inactivated".
What is the correct sequence of the the transfer of information in most organisms?
DNA to RNA to Protein.
Do nucleic acids produce protein?
No. Nucleic acids are the building blocks of protein. There are various types of nucleic acids that form proteins.
