How is genetic code used to make proteins?
There are twenty amino acids in proteins, three bases in a codon and three bases in an anti-codon newly known as an anti-sense codon. If the codons make up mRNA , then the anti-sense codons are found in the transfer RNAs. A triplet codon corresponds to an amino acid. Adenine pairs with Uracil, and Guanine Pairs with Cytosine. Let's say we had a mRNA strand like: AUACGUACGUACGUCACGUGAUGCUACACCUGACAUCCGAUCAUGAGUCGAUCAUGAUGA (oops, there's no more) The first codon is AUA. The anti-codon UAU, would attach to it. AUA corresponds to the amino acid Tyrosine. Then the next anti-codon GCA would attach to the second codon CGU. Arginine corresponds to the codon CGU. Tyrosine would join together with Arginine. The bond of the Tyrosine and its tRNA breaks. This is all done by a ribosome. The process continues until the chain is complete.
How does the cell know which proteins to make from the DNA code?
Firstly, DNA is transcripted to mRNA, which is then translated by ribosomes into your polypeptide. Each set of 3 bases on the mRNA (codon) codes for a particular amino acid. However, there can be up to four codons, coding for a single amino acid. ie GCU, GCC, GCA and GCG all code for Alanine. Therefore, if you know the amino acid sequence, you can work backwards to mRNA and then to DNA, but you wouldn't be very accurate as you'd need to guess the codons.
What is the anticodon for Auggcauacaaguucgacggagcaaauuuugguacuuuguaa?
AUG also the start codon for protein synthesis. The amino acid will be Methionine, may want to double check spelling of that
What is the amino acid for GCG?
Serine (Ser) amino acid. --> This is response to the above answer. The question is for the anticodon, but the genetic code table is for CODONS. As you know codons and anticodons bind antiparallel to each other. So, the codon for anticodon AGU = ACU. The first base of the anticodon base paris to the 3rd base of the codon (i.e., wobble base). Therefore with this information the anticodon AGU codes for Threonine. I have a graduate degree in Molecular biology.
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.

How does DNA build protein?
mRNA transfers the DNA sequence into a readable form for ribosomes. This means that all the T's get changed to U's. Then the mRNA carries the sequence to the ribosomes where the tRNA is kept. The tRNA takes each group of three bases, called codons, and matches it with a amino acid. The amino acids then code for each protein and the ribosomes start making the protein.
Which export is gca EXPORT?
export obligation to export to GCA countries
Where does the process of transcription begin?
the start of transcribing signal is a nucleotide sequence called a "promoter", which is located in the beginning of a gene. its a specific place where RNA attaches and starts synthesis and the prmotoer dictates wish of the DNA strands is to be transcribed
What does 'GCA exports' mean in regards to a 'Quarterly Performance Report'?
GCA Exports

GCA stands for General Currency Area. The list of GCA countries is all countries, excluding some rupee currency countries.
