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.
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.
Composed of long chains of amino acids?
Polypeptide bonds....polypeptide bonds equal proteins ;)
Building block unit of a polypeptide chain?
Amino acids are the building block units of a polypeptide chain or a protein. These amino acids are linked together through peptide bonds.
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?
How do proteins differ from one another in the number and sequence of amino acids?
the sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain differs from protein to protein -xbanditlover
A long chain of amino acids?

Simple proteins are composed of only what?
Simple proteins are composed of only amino acids. These proteins are also called monomeric proteins because they consist of a single polypeptide chain. The sequence of amino acids determines the structure and function of the protein.
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.
What chain is proteins in?
Proteins are first produced as polypeptide chains. This is known as the primary structure of the proteins. Polypeptide or protein chain comprised of amino acids connected each other with peptide bonds.

What is the linear chain of amino acids in a protein?
The monomers in a polypeptide are the amino acids. The sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide (or protein) is called the primary structure. It is the primary structure of proteins which is coded for by the DNA in the genes: the sequence of bases in the DNA is a code for the sequence of amino acids in a protein (or polypeptide).

Building block unit of a polypeptide chain?
Amino acids are the building block units of a polypeptide chain or a protein. These amino acids are linked together through peptide bonds.
What do multiple amino acids form?
Amino acids form chains which are called proteins.
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?
How are polypeptide and proteins similar?
They are both made of amino acids.
