DNA is transcribed to RNA, which is then 'read' by ribosomes, which assemble the protein subunits by matching each three base pair segment of DNA to a specific amino acid. The protein then folds itself into a well-defined shape and does whatever it does.

∙ 12y agoBasically what happens is a piece of mRNA (messenger RNA) collects the information from the DNA, and takes this to a ribosome. Chemicals within the cell are then attracted to the ribosome (certain chemicals that are specific to the information from the DNA), and they form together to form a protein. This whole process happens really quickly.
If you want a more detailed description of this process, just Google it. There'd by heaps of information out there about this sort of thing.

What sequence best represents the relationship between DNA and the traits of an organism?
DNA base sequence amino acid sequence protein shape protein function trait
Name for a sequence of DNA bases that code for one protein?
Name for a sequence of DNA bases that code for one protein?
What is an exon's role in DNA?
The exon codes for the opening sequence of DNA for protein synthesis. It is a sequence of nucleotides that code for the RNA to begin transcription of the DNA to RNA protein.
The sequence of nucleotides in DNA specifies the sequence of what in a protein?
Amino Acids
What feature in a cell containthe DNA sequence to make a specific protein?
gene
What sequence best represents the relationship between DNA and the traits of an organism?
DNA base sequence amino acid sequence protein shape protein function trait
How does DNA sequence determine protein function?
DNA sequences do not determine the function of any protein. DNA sequences determine the structure of the protein. That is particular amino acid sequence in protein only.
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.
Which structure determines the sequence of the building blocks in a protein?
DNA determines the sequence of the amino acids (building blocks) in a protein. The sequence of nitrogen bases in the DNA determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
Name for a sequence of DNA bases that code for one protein?
Name for a sequence of DNA bases that code for one protein?
What is an exon's role in DNA?
The exon codes for the opening sequence of DNA for protein synthesis. It is a sequence of nucleotides that code for the RNA to begin transcription of the DNA to RNA protein.
How does DNA determine a protein's shape?
DNA determines a protein's shape by determining the sequence of the amino acids in a protein.
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 determines what proteins DNA code for?
The sequence of basis on the DNA molecule is what directs the sequence of amino acids in the protein molecule - that's how it all links together! So, the sequence of bases in DNA codes for the sequence of amino acids of a protein.
The sequence of nucleotides in DNA specifies the sequence of what in a protein?
Amino Acids
What feature in a cell containthe DNA sequence to make a specific protein?
gene
How can a mutation in a DNA bases sequence cause a change in a protein?
dna in a cell needs protein and chromosomes.
