A polypeptide can best be described as?
Short sequence of amino acids. Insulin is a polypeptide of about 53 [amino-acid] residues; it is like Pluto - is it a protein or not?
What is the importance of coding in sequence?
Coding sequence is used to build proteins from amino acids. Each amino acid has a specific 3-base sequence known as codons. Since proteins are very important in our lifes and many biochemical processes, the coding sequence is very important. A change in the coding sequence (mutation) may result in the wrong protein being produced. Some incurable human diseases are as a result of changes in coding sequence
Is A polypeptide is a sequence of proteins or amino acids?
Yes, a polypeptide is a sequence of amino acids.
Specific function of a protein is determined by?
exact sequence of amino acids
What influences protein shape that determines protein function?
Amino acid sequence primarily determines a proteins shape, but secondary (alpha helix and beta sheet) and tertiary structures (Hydrogen bonding, other chemical bonding between structures) adds to it.

Does insulin contain amino acids?
Yes Insulin is proteins or has protein parts in the molecules. Proteins are made up of amino acids.

Amino acid sequence primarily determines a proteins shape, but secondary (alpha helix and beta sheet) and tertiary structures (Hydrogen bonding, other chemical bonding between structures) adds to it.
What dictates the corresponding sequence of amino acids in a growing polypeptide chain?
The sequence of amino acids being added to the growing polypeptide chain is controlled by the instructions (codons, 3-base codes) on the mRNA. These are a copy of the coding regions of the gene from the DNA in the nucleus.
Total number of amino acids for the DNA sequence is?
There are 20 different amino acids in the DNA sequence
Do genes use amino acids?
No, they code for amino acids (in sequence).
What refers to translating the sequence of nucleic acids to the sequence of amino acids?
Transcription.
What is the relationship between the linear sequence of codons on mRNA and the linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide?
The linear sequence of codons on mRNA determines the linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide.
How did scientists convert information when using reverse transcriptase insulin research?
from amino acid to nucleic acids
