Indirectly by the diverse substances that control the expression [or 'silencing'] of the DNA sequences that produce messenger Rnas, that then propel the 'said info' to the Ribosomes which then produce the enzymes.

Coding for amino acids occurs based on DNA base sequences in groups of three. There 64 three base combinations, three that are "stop" codons and the remaining 61 that code for amino acids to produce various proteins. An online search or search of this site will yield a table showing which base sequences are associated with each amino acid. Since there are so few amino acids relative to base combinations there are many "codes" that produce the same amino acid.

No, in an eukaryote*, DNA will never leave the nucleus. Its code is carried past the nuclear envelope to the ribosomes through an intermediate, mRNA (messenger RNA). The reason for this is primarily because the cytoplasm is rife with hydrolytic enzymes that would degrade the DNA once outside of the nucleus. If the DNA is destroyed, then the cell is out of luck and it will cease to function.

* Note that prokaryotes do not have a nucleus; thus, protein synthesis does occur in the cytoplasm.

First of all, we should think in the making of proteins, or protein synthesis, as a process divided into very defined steps or stages. The first stage starts with the DNA. This outstanding molecule keeps the "biological information" within it, as we know, the genes. In general terms, a gene can be defined as a particular sequence of nucleotides with a defined length. This gene or sequence has to be "copied" into a molecule called messenger RNA. or mRNA, in a process known as transcription. mRNA molecule will serve as "template" for the new protein molecule that is going to be built. The sequence of nucleotides, every three of them, called "codons", will guide the formation of the new protein molecule in a process called "translation". In resume, DNA starts the making of a protein molecule from its nucleotide sequence that will be translated into an amino acid sequence, the monomers of a protein molecule.

Not directly. DNA codes for an RNA transcript which directs the production of a protein.

the rna polymerase attaches and copies an rna version of the dna and the messenger rna enters a ribosome which uses the amino acids as instructions for making the protein.

Does cytoplasm have its own DNA?

No. The DNA for cytoplasm is in the nucleus of the cell. BUT Some of the organelles in the cell have their own DNA. (Mitochondria are the best example it has a complete set of DNA)


Where can DNA be found in prokaryotic cells?

DNA is found inside prokaryotic cells freely floating in the cytoplasm. It is in long strands bundled in the cell.


Which statement is most likely to apply to a cell that has DNA within its cytoplasm?

A cell that has DNA within its cytoplasm is stored as chromatin. DNA is stored in the nucleus which is located in the cytoplasm.


Which cell stores its DNA in the cytoplasm?

A prokaryote cell stores its DNA in the cytoplasm. The Eukaryote cell has a well defined nucleus separated by nuclear envelope which protects the DNA from the cytoplasm. Mitochondria and chloroplasts also contain their own DNA, are parts of cytoplasm.A prokaryote cell stores its DNA in the cytoplasm.

Where is the DNA in a prokaryotes?

The DNA in a prokaryote is located in the cytoplasm. Since prokaryote cells have no nucleus the DNA is coiled up in a region of the cytoplasm called the nucleoid.

Where is DNA and rna found?

In prokaryotic cells, DNA and RNA are both found in the cytoplasm. In eukaryotic cells, DNA is typically restricted to the nucleus and RNA is mostly in the cytoplasm.
