What acts as interpreter molecules that recognize specific amino acids and nucleotide base sequences?
tRNA (Transfer RNA)....It is often mistaken with mRNA
What does a geneticist use to cut DNA at specific base sequences?
Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, are used to cut DNA into smaller fragments. Restriction enzymes are found in bacteria, where they act like molecular scissors by cutting up DNA from invading viruses or bacteriophages. Each restriction enzyme recognizes a specific nucleotide sequence and cuts the DNA at that site. This process makes restriction enzymes extremely useful in biotechnology where they are used in procedures such as DNA cloning, DNA fingerprinting, and genetic engineering. There are hundreds of known restriction enzymes, and each one was named for the bacteria from which it was isolated. For example, EcoRI was isolated from Escherichia coli and HaeIII from Haemophilus aegyptius.

What is the function of neucleotide base molecules?
Nucleotide base molecules (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine for DNA; adenine, uracil, cytosine and guanine for RNA) are molecules that make up genetic material. They are bound to a phosphate backbone, and because their specific sequences (in codons, groups of three nucleotide bases in a row) make up the genes that code for proteins, nucleotide bases essentially contain the genetic information needed to manufacture most structures within our bodies.
What is a specific protein that recognizes certain molecules?

What is the name of the specific molecule to which the nucleotide is attached?
They are attached to a deoxyribose sugar.
What is the name of the specific molecule to which nucleotide is attached?
They are attached to a deoxyribose sugar.
During protein synthesis the nucleotide sequence specific a particular species of?
tRNA
What determines how DNA will be cut by a restriction enzyme?
Restriction enzymes cut DNA at specific sites called restriction sites. These restriction sites are typically 6 - 8 nucleotides in length and have a defined set of nucleotide bases. For example, the restriction enzyme Eco R1 cuts at the site: AGGTTC. Therefore, if the target DNA contains the above sequence, Eco R1 is able to cut it within the restriction site. Hence, by looking into the target site and which restriction enzymes are being used, on can make an accurate estimate of where the target DNA will be cut
What have scientists found to be the most efficient and effective way to insert new sequences into an individual?

What do biotechnologists use to DNA molecules at specific sequences?
Restriction endonucleases or enzymes
