Suppose you knew the makeup of specific proteins in a Cell - how would you determine the particular Dna sequences that coded for them?

This is done by and through the use of The Genetic Code.
This is actually only partially possible because of the Situation that demands the creation of the term 'Wobble Base'.
The implementation of The Genetic Code involves - simply - the [sequential][and consequential] string of Triplet Codons, as represented by the Dna sequence of Bases, being transcribed into messenger Rna which then is presented to the [endoplasmically embedded] Ribosomes; where each triplet codon is exactly represented by ONE amino acid.
Whereas there are 64 triplet codons that exist, we need to represent only 20 animo acids - hence the wobble bases.

∙ 11y agoWe go in reverse direction. If we know the sequence of amine acids, we can have a sequence of codons denoting it and we can determine particular DNA code that coded for them

What is the name for large molecules made up of smaller molecules?
The general term for very large molecules is "macromolecules". There are special terms for different specific types of macromolecules, like "polymers" or "proteins", and most people studying them specialize in one or another specific type.
How can scientists identify specific bacteria when they are amplifying and studying the same region of DNA in each species?
Scientists already know the DNA sequencing for most bacteria. So, to identify a certain bacteria they will look at the same sections of DNA to determine the sequence. The sequence of nucleotides will then be examined by the scientists to see if they match with the sequences of other bacteria.
What is an enzyme considered because of its ability to recognize the shape of a particular molecule?
"Specific"
If a specific element is to remain that particular element which could not occur?
A nucliar reaction.
How did early prospectors use density to determine whether they had found gold or pyrite?
Specific gravity.
Where are the protein-synthesizing instructions stores on DNA molecules?
Certain sequences of nucleotides code for the production of specific proteins.
What is a zinc finger?
A zinc finger is a structure within some proteins which binds to specific sequences of DNA and regulates genes.

What are chromosomes made of?
They ARE specific coding sequences of 2'-Deoxy-Ribonucleic-Acid. Sweet Searching!
DNA contains instructions for making the different molecules such as proteins that a cell needs to grow and function. To use these instructions the DNA must first be into .?
Certain sequences of nucleotides code for the production of specific proteins.
How does DNA contain instructions for traits?
The DNA code consists of specific sequences of DNA nucleotides that code for specific amino acids. A sequence of three nucleotides are called a codon, and code for one specific amino acid. The sequence of amino acids determines the structure and function of the proteins, which determine the cells' activities and hereditary traits.
How does the base sequence on DNA determine a particular feature and different forms or variations of that feature?
The bases in Dna are read three at a time - these are known as triplet-codons. Each triplet-codon codes for a specific amino-acid. The order [or sequence] of amino-acids in the resultant protein will and does determine its 'particular features'.
Why does a particular vaccine give immunity against one disease only?
That is a good question! In the vaccine, you have few proteins, that are derived from particular organism only. The antibodies are very specific. They act against the particular proteins only. So from the given vaccine, you get specific antibodies. Those antibodies will act against that particular organism only.
What are enzymes cutting DNA at specific sites to form restriction fragments called?
restriction enzymes or endonuclease enzymes
What role do enzymes play in transcription?
Enzymes play a vital role in transcription. They will aid the entire process by producing proteins that are required at a specific time.
What do you call a short piece of DNA that codes for a certain protein?
DNA does not make proteins directly. Rather, the DNA is the mother-of-all recipes that specialized transcription proteins (tRNA) read to make messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA is the specific recipe to make specific proteins. The specific code of DNA are made of regions called introns and exons. Exons are what the gene has coded for and introns are "spacers". I remember exons are exactly what is needed and introns are intervening sequences.
What is a marker protien?
A protein marker is just that - a marker for specific proteins. This usually deals with running an experiment (assay) to determine the presence, absence, and with some markers, abundance of a specific protein
