Do genes use amino acids?

No, they code for amino acids (in sequence).


How is the nitrogen base sequence of a gene related to the structure of a protein?

The sequence of nitrogenous bases (A, T, G and C) forms a code for the sequence of amino acids in a protein. The code is a triplet code. This means that three bases code for one amino acid. So, the order of the bases in a gene determines the order of the amino acids in a protein.


How do mRNA base pairs determine the sequence of amino acids in a protein during the process of translation?

mRNA base pairs determine the sequence of amino acids in a protein during translation by matching with tRNA molecules that carry specific amino acids. The sequence of mRNA codons (three-base sequences) determines which amino acid is added to the growing protein chain. This process is guided by the genetic code, where each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid.

Where are the instructions for arranging amino acids located?

The instructions for arranging amino acids are stored in a cell's DNA, which contains the genetic code that specifies the sequence of amino acids in a protein. This genetic information is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) and then translated by ribosomes to build the protein according to the instructions provided.

Coverting mrna into a sequence of amino acids that make up protein is called what?

The process of converting mRNA into a sequence of amino acids is called translation. During translation, mRNA is read by ribosomes to produce a specific sequence of amino acids according to the genetic code. This sequence of amino acids then folds into a protein with a specific function.


Excluding the stop sequence how many nucleotides are necessary to code for a polypeptide that is 100 amino acids long?

300 nucleotides are needed to code for a polypeptide that is 100 amino acids long, because each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of 3 nucleotides (codon), and there are 100 amino acids in the polypeptide.


How many amino acids does this DNA sequence code for TCAGCCACCTATGGA?

The DNA sequence TCAGCCACCTATGGA codes for the mRNA sequence UCAGCCACCUAUGGA, which translates to the amino acids Serine-Alanine-Threonine-Tryptophan. Therefore, this DNA sequence codes for 4 amino acids.
