What is a single stranded RNA molecule that encodes the information to make a protein called?
This is called messenger RNA. mRNA
The sequence of what encodes DNA information?
The sequence of four nucleotide 'bases' found in an organism's DNA "provides" an Organism's genetic make-up.
What makes alleles of the same gene different from each other?
A gene consists of a specific sequence of bases; variations in that sequence make for a different gene.
How many deoxyribonucleotides are in a gene?
This can't be answered simply. Are we talking about prokaryotic or eukaryotic genes? If eukaryotic, there are a whole bunch of non-coding sequences that make up said gene that do not make it into the final translated product, but are required for the gene to get out of the nucleus and be translated into protein. I think the smallest gene recorded so far apparently encodes a 7amino acid protein - so the coding sequence alone for that gene would be 24 aa's (3 per each amino acid + 3 for the start codon, ATG). In my own graduate research, I have worked with genes that are over 25kb, that is, 25000 nucleotides long. There are certainly genes that are much larger than that, as well.
Why is RNA even made by the cell?
RNA is essential for cellular processes such as protein synthesis, gene regulation, and information transfer. It acts as a messenger that carries genetic information from DNA to protein synthesis machinery, allowing the cell to produce the specific proteins it needs. RNA also plays a role in regulating gene expression and can catalyze certain biochemical reactions.

How does DNA make protein?
DNA basically contains the information needed to create protein. Each protein is encoded by a gene, which carries specific physical characteristics for each person.

Is a gene a living thing?
no. a gene stores information on how to make something an organism needs for some purpose.

What conclusions make up Mendel's law of segregation?
Organisms inherit two copies of each gene, one from each one of their parents. Organisms donate only one copy of each gene in their gametes.
What is a segment with information to make a protein?
A segment of DNA on a chromosome that controls the production of a protein is called a gene. Chromosome a cellular structure that contains DNA.
How does a gene differ from genome?
A gene is just the DNA that stores genetic information, a genome is all the genetic material in an organism.
What two conclusion make up mendel law of segregation?
1st conclusion: Organisms inherit two copies of each gene, one from each parent. 2nd conclusion: Organisms donate only one copy of each gene in their gametes. Thus, the two copies of each gene segregate, or separate, during gamete formation. "hope this helped"
What type of protein does TGBF1 have the instructions to make?
The gene (TGFB1) encodes for the protein Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/7040 [nih.gov ok]. It's a cytokine (a signalling protein) that has lots of different effects depending on which cells are exposed to it. In one case, researchers think that it may be doing something to the cells that maintain ear bones.
