How many DNA letters code for one amino acids What is this sequence of letters called?
3 base pairs (3 letters) code for 1 aminoacid and this 3 base pair sequence is called a codon.
How many letters in the code for proteins and what are they called?
Three letters code for proteins which are called codons.
What part of DNA provides the code for proteins?
The parts of DNA that code for proteins are called genes.
Why is RNA needed to create proteins?
RNA is a single-stranded structure that is copied from an unzipped DNA strand identically, this is called transcription. The RNA strand contains the complementary base pairs for the DNA sequence. The DNA strand has sections that code for specific proteins, so when the RNA strand is created from the DNA, the RNA strand is then able to recreate the sequence that codes for the proteins. The RNA strand leaves the nucleus, via a nuclear pore, and enters the cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm the RNA strand binds to two Ribosomal subunits, and translation is carried out, producing proteins.
Which type of RNA transports the building blocks of proteins to ribosomes during the process of translation?
tRNA (Transfer RNA) is responsible for carrying the amino acid to the ribosomes during translation. The tRNA anti-codon binds to the mRNA codon (3-base code) to ensure that the correct amino acid is added to the chain.
The message of the DNA code is information for building what?
proteins
What is the DNA code dependent on?
arrangement of nitrogen base pairs
The parts of DNA that provide the code for proteins are the?
The parts of DNA that provide the code for protein are called genes.
What role does proteins play in living things?
Protiens code DNA and RNA. They also act as building blocks for the body
How many DNA letters code for one amino acids What is this sequence of letters called?
3 base pairs (3 letters) code for 1 aminoacid and this 3 base pair sequence is called a codon.
What genetic code gets translated into amino acids?
Genetic code comes on long strands. The indvidual bases are grouped into threes in the stand. The groups of three code for either an amino acid or a to start or stop making a polypeptide. Chains of these groups of three code for the polypeptides, proteins and enzymes that our bodies depend on. There are lots more possible combinations of the four base pairs than there are amino acids so the same amino acid can be coded for in several different ways. Genetic code comes on long strands.

What type of molecule dose genes they code for?
Genes code for proteins
Why can cells synthesize proteins?
Cells can synthesize specific proteins because the sequence of nucleotide bases in the DNA of genes specifies a particular sequence of amino acid building blocks of a protein molecule. This correspondence of gene and protein building block sequence is called the genetic code.
Which molecule contains protein building instructions?
DNA
How many base pairs are in a amino acids?
There are 3 base pairs in an amino acid. Base pairs are the basic building block of DNA. A gene is a part of DNA that is transcribed by RNA polymerase. The resulting mRNA molecule is then translated into a peptide/enzyme, which consists of multiple amino acid (from a few, say 10, up to more than 100000). Each amino acid is coded for by a set of three consecutive bases, called a triplet. Since there are 4 types of bases (A, T/U, G &C) there are 4^3=64 possible triplets. each of these code for one of 20 aminoacids or a stop signal (some triplets code for the same thing).

How many letters in the code for proteins and what are they called?
Three letters code for proteins which are called codons.
