Does proteins determine Genes?

No, proteins do not determine genes. Genes are segments of DNA that encode instructions for making proteins. Proteins are the products of gene expression, meaning that genes are responsible for determining the sequence and structure of proteins.


Which scientists helped to determine the shape of DNA?

The scientists who helped determine the shape of DNA were James Watson and Francis Crick.

How does DNA determine the shape and size of a cell?

DNA codes for all of the proteins in the cell. Proteins are used as many things within the cell, including signalling molecules which communicate between different parts of the cell, and enzymes, which can adjust the length of structural molecules which keep the cells shape. The shape of the cell is also determined by physical constraints such as outside pressure, the surface area/volume ration, and how fast molecules can diffuse into the centre of the cell.


What sequence best represents the relationship between DNA and the traits of an organism?

DNA contains the instructions for building proteins, which determine an organism's traits. The sequence is: DNA → RNA → proteins → traits of an organism. This process is known as the central dogma of molecular biology.

What is the relationship between DNA chromosomes genes animo acids proteins and traits?

DNA takes the form of a chromosome. A segment of the chromosome that carries the blueprint for a protein is called a gene. The gene blueprint specifies the order of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. The types of proteins we produce determine the traits we have such as our eye color, or the shape of our nose, or how long our ring finger is.

What do proteins determine in an organism?

The genes determine the amino sequence and the shape the amino group will be folded into to become a protien.


What structure (shape ) does DNA have?

DNA takes a double-helix shape, coiling itself around. It mostly serves to inform cells of how to function, with genes helping to determine this.
