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.

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.
What does it say determines the final shape of a protein?
Amino Acid Sequence. I believe.
What determines the type of protein that is formed?
The DNA code ... it assigns each amino acid in the sequence.
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 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.
What does the order of bases in a gene determine?
The order determines the amino acid sequence in proteins. Think of nucleotide as a building block of DNA. Nucleotides are made of a sugar, a phosphate group and one of four bases (adenine, Guanine, Thymine and Cytosine).
Does a sequence of three bases form a amino acid?
No, a sequence of three bases (called a codon) does not directly form an amino acid. However, each codon in a sequence of DNA or RNA corresponds to a specific amino acid, according to the genetic code. The sequence of codons determines the order in which amino acids are assembled during protein synthesis.
What determines the start of the reading frame?
amino acid 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.
What is the step in the synthesis of proteins from RNA called where the genetic message contained in RNA determines the specific amino acid sequence of a protein?
Translation
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.
