What determines the mRNA sequence?
The genetic code is determined by the specific sequence of four nucleotide bases that make up DNA. The bases are guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine.
How is the nitrogen base sequence of a gene related to the structure of a protein?
The sequence of nitrogenous bases (A, T, G and C) forms a code for the sequence of amino acids in a protein. The code is a triplet code. This means that three bases code for one amino acid. So, the order of the bases in a gene determines the order of the amino acids in a protein.
Does a sequence of three bases form a amino acid?
No, a sequence of three bases (called a codon) does not directly form an amino acid. However, each codon in a sequence of DNA or RNA corresponds to a specific amino acid, according to the genetic code. The sequence of codons determines the order in which amino acids are assembled during protein synthesis.
The main purpose of DNA is to store information. Where is information stored within a DNA molecule?
It is stored within the sequence of nitrogen bases.
What is the nitrogen base sequence for the start codon?
The sequences for nitrogen bases for all living organisms is what makes up DNA and therefore their genes.
What determines the sequence of bases in mRNA?
the sequence of bases in DNA
Which structure determines the sequence of the building blocks in a protein?
DNA determines the sequence of the amino acids (building blocks) in a protein. The sequence of nitrogen bases in the DNA determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
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 is a chemical sequence of DNA or determines a trait of an organism?
The organisms genotype.
what is the genetic code stored in DNA is used to produce protein products?
The genetic code stored in DNA is the sequence of nitrogen bases. The sequence of nitrogen bases determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein, and the sequence of amino acids determines the structure and function of a protein.
What determines the amino acid sequence in a protein?
The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA, and this is determined by the sequence of nucleotide bases in the DNA.
Instructions on dna that code for specific proteins or traits?
Yes. The sequence of nitrogen bases in DNA determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein. The sequence of amino acids determines the structure and function of a protein.
What determines the mRNA sequence?
The genetic code is determined by the specific sequence of four nucleotide bases that make up DNA. The bases are guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine.
Which statement correctly describes the sequence of bases found in this type of molecule?
it determines the characteristics that will be inherited.
Why is the correct sequence of DNA bases important to the production of proteins?
The sequence of DNA is used, through a process involving the different types of RNA, into amino acids to produce the proteins. The sequence is what determines the amino acids used, and thus an incorrect sequence will build a different protein.
What does the order of bases in a gene determine?
The order determines the amino acid sequence in proteins. Think of nucleotide as a building block of DNA. Nucleotides are made of a sugar, a phosphate group and one of four bases (adenine, Guanine, Thymine and Cytosine).
What determines the sequence of the nitrogenous bases in a new DNA strand?
It's complimentary pair. C--G and T--A
