What part of a strand of DNA tells the cell what protein to make?

DNA tells a cell how to make proteins through the genetic code.
Both DNA and proteins are long molecules made from strings of shorter building blocks. While DNA is made of nucleotides, proteins are made of amino acids, a group of 20 different chemicals with names like alanine, arginine, and serine. The genetic code enables a cell to translate the nucleotide language of DNA into the amino acid language of proteins.
In the genetic code, each group of three nucleotides-known as a "triplet" or "codon"-stands for a specific amino acid. For example, GCA stands for alanine, AGA stands for arginine, and AGC stands for serine. There are 64 possible codons, but only 20 amino acids, so more than one codon may code for a single amino acid. For example, GCA, GCC, and GCG all mean alanine.
For the most part, the genetic code is the same across every form of life, from bacteria to sea stars to German shepherds to humans. A few species might translate a codon or two differently-GCA means alanine for most species, but could mean valine in a few organisms. But everyone uses three-letter codons and most of the same codon-amino acid relationships.

∙ 12y agoRibosomes tells the cell how to make proteins. That's the best answer i guess.

∙ 6y agoThe DNA in the cell's nucleus has the instruction for making the proteins, this is copied out of the nucleus as RNA and the proteins are built in the cell's Ribosomes.

What strand of DNA contains codes for the amino acids that make up a protein?
Either strand of DNA codes for protein synthesis.
What helps to make protein in a cell?
the Ribosomes help make the protein in a cell.
Is a strand of mRNA short?
That depends on the type of protein it needs to make. Bigger the polypeptide, longer the mRNA.
Can a cell make a protein directly from gene?
no it can't
In order to make a protein a cell must link together what?
In order to make a protein, a cell must link together amino acids by means of peptide bonds.
What strand of DNA contains codes for the amino acids that make up a protein?
Either strand of DNA codes for protein synthesis.
Which strand of DNA contains codes for the amino acids that make up a protein?
the sense strand
Which strand of DNA contains codes for amino acids to make up a protein?
The best strand
What happens during the second step of making a protein?
A DNA strand is used to make a strand of RNA.
What places make protein in a cell?
they remove what the cell of protein is..
How do you make a protein from DNA?
mRNA transcribes a strand of DNA and carries the genetic code to a ribosome, where the mRNA code is translated by tRNA into a strand of amino acids, making a protein.
What helps to make protein in a cell?
the Ribosomes help make the protein in a cell.
What is the terms refers to a region of a chromosome that has a specifiic function?
The region of chromosome that is generally thought of as the unit of function is the "gene". Genes are composed of both a "coding region"--that sequence that tells the cell's machinery what the protein will be--and a "regulatory" region, which tells the cell when to turn on the coding region to make the protein.
What strand of DNA is used to make a complementary copy or to make a complementary mRNA molecule-?
The strand is called the parental strand. the gene being copied would depend on which protein is needed.
To make a specific protein ribosomes a set of twenty strands of tRNA and a strand of?
a. translation
What is the process of in the cell where enzymes make a RNA copy of a DNA strand?
Transcription
If a cell forms large quantities of protein molecules which organelles might be numerous in the cell?
Ribosomes. They make the protein for a cell.
