What is the The genetic code for a particular protein passed from DNA to mRNA by a process known as?

∙ 7y ago
DNA transcription is a process that involves transcribing genetic information from DNA to RNA.
The transcribed DNA message, or RNA transcript, is used to produce proteins.
The information in DNA is not directly converted into proteins, but must first be copied into RNA. This ensures that the information contained within the DNA does not become damaged.

What is a modification of genetic mateirial that will be passed onto future generations?
A genetic mutation is a random change in a person's genes that can be passed on to their offspring.
What is definition of gene?
a piece of genetic material that is passed from one parent to their children and is used to predict a particular trait in the offspring.
Who first discovered that DNA not protein is the genetic material of the cell?
Less than a hundred years ago scientists were not sure of the identity of the chemical substance in the chromosomes that stored and transmitted genetic traits. The common thought was that it was protein, however scientists began to look at DNA as the possible genetic material. There were three major studies that confirmed that DNA was indeed the genetic information. It all began with Frederick Griffith. Griffith studied two strains of bacteria, a virulent, or disease causing form, and a non-virulent, or non-disease causing form. His research found that two seemingly harmless strains of bacteria were deadly due to transformation, a process in which bacteria takes up foreign DNA. The second study was by Oswald Avery. Avery wanted to identify the substance that made the non-virulent bacteria become virulent. To do this he modified Griffith's experiment and used protein and DNA destroying enzymes to help him identify that DNA was the genetic material. Lastly, Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase confirmed that DNA is indeed the genetic material. They did this by radioactively labeling the protein coat and DNA in viruses. They found that only the radioactively labeled DNA was passed along to the new viruses, thus confirming that DNA, not protein, was the genetic material.
What is the central dogma biology?
DNA -> RNA -> protein. That simple!
Define genetic study?
There is no such thing as genetic study-but there is such thing as genetics. Genetics is the study of heredity, or how traits are passed down from parent to offspring.
Genetic information is contained in protein molecules and is passed from one parent to another?
genetic information is contained in protein molecules and is passed from one parent to another.
What is the process after transcription?
Transcription results in messenger Rnas that are passed to the process called translation [Rna to protein].
Is genetic codes passed on by proteins?
No. The genetic code is passed on through the DNA.
The process of what produces a new copy of an organism's genetic information?
The process that makes a new copy of an organism's genetic information and then passes it on to new cells is called mitosis.
How are genetic factors passed from one generation to another?
Genetic factors are passed through DNA (or genes).
What are the treatments for genetic disorder?
Genetic disorders are caused by faulty genes. Each gene in your DNA codes for a specific protein. If the gene is faulty,it might produce the wrong protein or not produce a protein at all. This causes genetic disorders, e.g cystic fibrosis, haemophilia and sickle-cell anaemia. These orders are hereditary, passed on from a parent. Gene therapy could be used to treat genetic disorders. It involves inserting a new functional version of a faulty gene into a patient's cells. Hope that helped
What are genetic traits?
Genetic traits are variations of features passed on to offspring from there parents.
Is cleft palate genetic?
Yes it is genetic, meaning it an be passed down.
What is a modification of genetic mateirial that will be passed onto future generations?
A genetic mutation is a random change in a person's genes that can be passed on to their offspring.
What is definition of gene?
a piece of genetic material that is passed from one parent to their children and is used to predict a particular trait in the offspring.
What is an authenticated users?
An authenticated users are those who have passed the identification/authentication process of a particular system and are able to log-on in that system.
What kind of cells will a change in the genetic code be passed on?
Mutations in the genetic code that can be passed on to offspring occur in the gametes; the sperm and egg cells.
