How does the code in DNA relate to the amino acid sequence in a protein?

Only a small proportion of the genome codes for protein sequence. These regions of protein coding sequence reside within genes and are called exons. Within the exons, a group of three bases (known as a codon) will code for one amino acid. There is some degeneracy in the code; that is, for some amino acids there is more than one codon (group of three bases) that will code for a specific amino acid (see codon table for specific translation).

∙ 13y agoThe amino acid sequence derives from mRNA sequence, which in turn comes from a nucleotide sequence in DNA. Depending on the order of transcription of mRNA, the arrangement of amino acids may be different.

∙ 14y agoThe amino acid sequence comes from an mRNA transcript which is synthesized from a DNA template. So DNA makes RNA makes proteins.

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
What is primary structure of a protein and what causes it?
Primary structure of the protein is simply its amino acid sequence. It is the sequence in which amino acids are added during protein synthesis.
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.
When a nitrogenous base is inserted or delete how does that affect the amino acid sequence?
The amino acid sequence is shifted, and this kind of mutation is called a frame shift mutation. All of the amino acid sequence after the mutation will be changed, which will cause a change in shape of the protein, which will then probably result in a nonfunctional protein, since the shape of a protein determines its function.
What are the structural and functional characteristics of a protein determined by?
amino acid sequence
What determines the amino acid sequence in a protein?
The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA, and this is determined by the sequence of nucleotide bases in the DNA.
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

What parts of a chromosome specify the amino acid sequence of a protein?
the sequence of bases

What is the level of protein structure is the amino acid sequence of the protein?
Quaternary tertiary secondary primary is the sequence.
Why is acid sequence of a protein of the ultumate importance?
The amino acid sequence determines the three-dimensional structure of a protein, which determines the function of the protein. If the amino acid sequence is incorrect, due to a genetic defect, the three-dimensional structure of the protein may be so disrupted as to not function properly, or not function at all.

The sequence of amino acids joined together refers to the?
Peptide sequence or amino acid sequence is the order in which amino acid residues, connected by peptide bonds, lie in the chain in peptides and proteins. The sequence is generally reported from the N-terminal end containing free amino group to the C-terminal end containing free carboxyl group. Peptide sequence is often called protein sequence if it represents the primary structure of a protein.
A hereditary condition caused by an incorrect amino acid in the amino acid sequence of a protein chain is?
sickle cell anemia
How does a DNA molecule determined the structure of a protein?
The DNA sequence will determine the amino acid sequence known as the protein's primary structure. As the protein is folded into the secondary, tertiary and quatranary structures, the amino acid molecules will determine the shape
