What role does transcription play in protein synthesis?
RNA molecules are produced by copying part of the nucleus sequence of DNA into a complementary sequence in RNA.
What is the relationship between DNA and protein production?
the DNA copies its base sequence into messenger RNA which carry the information to the transfer RNA which translates it into a sequence of Amino acids.
What determines how many amino acids is in a polypeptide?
When a gene is transcribed there is a sequence of RNA bases that was copied from the DNA sequence. The RNA sequence can be exactly the same as the DNA or can be modified more in higher organisms by removing the introns if any. Three RNA bases is a codon. Each codon signifies an amino acid. There is an initiation codon and a terminal codon. So the amino acid sequence is determined by the sequence (multiple of 3 RNA bases) of codons between the initiation codon and termination codon.
What are exons and introns?
Intronsare intervening sequence of DNA; does NOT code for a protein.Exons are expressed squence of DNA; codes for a protein.
What is is called when RNA copies to DNA?
When RNA's base sequence is used to determine the base sequence of a new strand of DNA, that is called reverse transcription.This is because the process is the reverse of transcription, which involves copying the base sequence of DNA to form RNA, including messenger RNA (mRNA).
What is the name of the process whereby a DNA sequence is converted into a RNA sequence?
transcription
What is the name of an RNA sequence that codifies one amino acid?

What rna sequence is transcribed using the DNA sequence agc-tac-act?
The sequence of the RNA would be UCG-AUG-UGA.
What is the scientific name for a palindrome?
In molecular biology, a palindromic sequence is a nucleic acid sequence on double-stranded DNA or RNA.
Rna molecules are produced by copying part of the nucleotide sequence of DNA into a complementary sequence in rna?
transcription
Why are introns copied and then removed from the RNA sequence?
Introns were copied and then removed from the RNA sequence because they were placeholders.
What does the genetic code specify the correlation between?
The genetic code refers to the nucleotide triplets of DNA and RNA molecules that carry genetic information. It specifies the correlation between an RNA-nucleotide sequence, as well as an amino-acid sequence.
Convert the following DNA sequence into its RNA equivalent and then using the genetic code convert that RNA sequence into the amino acid sequence 5tacttcttcaagact-3?
DNA Sequence = 5tacttcttcaagact-3 RNA Sequence = 3'-AUGAAGAAGUUCUGA-5'You just switch 5' and 3'T becomes AA becomes UC becomes GG becomes CThere should be no Ts in an RNA sequence.
During what process are rna molecules produced by copying part of the nucleotide sequence of dna into a complementary sequence in rna?
Transcription.
An enzyme that reads along a sequence of bases in DNA making a complementary sequence of nucleotide bases in RNA is?
RNA Polymerase.
What is the function of CCA sequence in t-RNA?
CCA sequence is the the site for the attachment of the amino acid specific to the t-RNA.
What would the HIV viral sequence of AUCUU be converted to and by what enzyme?
The HIV virus is an RNA virus, so you know the sequence AUCUU is the RNA sequence. (You also know it is RNA because it contains uracil.) HIV is a retrovirus, so its RNA will be transcribed to DNA by the enzyme reverse transcriptase and then inserted into the host's genome. The RNA sequence of AUCUU would be transcribed to TAGTT.
