What is DNA coding?
junk DNA
What does a long sequence of base pairs code for?
Coding DNA is DNA that "codes" for protein creation. DNA is NOT strictly speaking a code however, it's more like a 3D reverse template for the protein. The component chemicals coalesce from the cell's plasma against the coding DNA much like a lot of non-biological catalyzation. When the protein is completed it peels off and does whatever that protein does.By contrast, non-coding DNA functions in ways other than direct protein synthesis. Some of these functions are being learned, but others are currently unknown. And it is likely that some of the non-coding sections of DNA are "Junk" DNA, ie DNA that does literally nothing.Junk DNA and non-coding DNA often mutate much faster than coding DNA for the simple reason that mutations in coding DNA are usually fatal.
What the difference between rna and dna in number of strands?
the difference between DNA and RNA AS DNA ARE DOUBLE STANDED AND RNA IS SINGLE STANDED
Is most of the DNA is humans coding DNA?
No - only a small part of human DNA is coding DNA. About 3% of DNA is genes. These are the sequences that code for a functional unit (like protein).
Is all DNA considered coding DNA?
No - only the parts of DNA that code for a functional product, like protein, are considered coding DNA. This is only a small amount of DNA - about 3% in humans.

junk DNA
Is DNA junk or not junk?
AnswerThere is junk DNA or non-coding DNA. This DNA is the segment before the promoter of a different gene.
What is non-coding DNA?
DNA which doesn't carry the information to make proteins. Originally thought to be "junk", but people are finding that it does have functions.
Why can't they call the extra pieces of DNA that we didn't need or use junk DNA?
They are called non-coding DNA. It was called "junk DNA" at one time by people doing research on DNA because they didn't think these DNA codes had any use. Now they know that they have uses and so have stopped using that name "junk DNA".
What are introns and extrons and how are they different?
Exon DNA encodes for the RNA included in the final mRNA transcript that encodes for proteins. Intron DNA is found within exons, but is spliced out as the mRNA molecule is processed.

How is DNA used as evidence of evolution?
All living things have DNA -- both coding and non-coding DNA. The percentage of similarity between living things matches up with the preexisting theory of evolution.
What is the difference between an intron and exon?
Exons code for amino acids (they are usable codons) Introns code for nothing.
What the difference between rna and dna in number of strands?
the difference between DNA and RNA AS DNA ARE DOUBLE STANDED AND RNA IS SINGLE STANDED

No - only a small part of human DNA is coding DNA. About 3% of DNA is genes. These are the sequences that code for a functional unit (like protein).
What percent of the DNA is junk?
You are 98% junk.
Why do forensic labs analyze non-coding DNA and not genes?
Coding DNA or exons are varying among individuals. But non-coding DNA doesn't vary among individuals and they don't carry information about gene expression patterns. Therefore, non-coding DNA is used in forensic analyses.
