They are the building blocks that will form proteins. Each base codes for one amino acid. Adding one amino acid to another and another will make a protein.
Order of bases in a gene codes for the amino acid assembly into a protein.
Adenine( A), Thymine( T), Guanine( G), Cytosine(C)
The mRNA is coded by the tRNA to make a protein.
RNA is not converted into protein, it codes for protein.
Either strand of DNA codes for protein synthesis.
A piece of DNA that codes for a particular protein is called a gene.
the number of nitrogen bases in a DNA molecule
Order of bases in a gene codes for the amino acid assembly into a protein.
Adenine( A), Thymine( T), Guanine( G), Cytosine(C)
1 amino acid
A sequence of three nitrogen bases, called a codon, codes for a single amino acid.
amino acid
Three consecutive nitrogenous bases are called a codon and codons code for amino acids
The primary structure of a protein is the sequence of amino acids in the protein. This is determined by the sequence of bases in the DNA ie by the genetic code. Each group of three bases in DNA codes for one amino acid in the protein ie it is a triplet code.
When DNA bases are combined into different 3-base codes, called triplets or codons, different amino acids are called for to create the protein chain.
to produce a protein, geneticists must know the sequence of DNA bases that codes for the protein.
There are 4 nitrogenous bases characteristic of mRNA. Adenine, Cytosine, Uracil, and Guanine.
