The amino acid sequence determines the three-dimensional structure of a protein, which determines the function of the protein. If the amino acid sequence is incorrect, due to a genetic defect, the three-dimensional structure of the protein may be so disrupted as to not function properly, or not function at all.

What sequence best represents the relationship between DNA and the traits of an organism?
DNA base sequence amino acid sequence protein shape protein function trait
What is the level of protein structure is the amino acid sequence of the protein?
Quaternary tertiary secondary primary is the sequence.
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.
What parts of a chromosome specify the amino acid sequence of a protein?
the sequence of bases
How does the sequence of DNA affect the function of a protein?
The sequence of nucleotides in DNA molecule is equivalent and is closely related to an amino acid sequence in the protein molecule. If for any reason the sequence of DNA nucleotides changes it will be reflected in amino acid sequence in the protein. Moreover, the correct sequence of amino acid in the protein will form the correct three-dimensional structure, or tertiary structure, that will confer the biological activity to protein. If a wrong amino acid is translated from a mutated gene in the DNA could change the spatial structure of the protein and therefore modify or erase its biological function.
What is primary structure of a protein and what causes it?
Primary structure of the protein is simply its amino acid sequence. It is the sequence in which amino acids are added during protein synthesis.
How does a DNA molecule determined the structure of a protein?
The DNA sequence will determine the amino acid sequence known as the protein's primary structure. As the protein is folded into the secondary, tertiary and quatranary structures, the amino acid molecules will determine the shape
When a nitrogenous base is inserted or delete how does that affect the amino acid sequence?
The amino acid sequence is shifted, and this kind of mutation is called a frame shift mutation. All of the amino acid sequence after the mutation will be changed, which will cause a change in shape of the protein, which will then probably result in a nonfunctional protein, since the shape of a protein determines its function.
How does DNA sequence determine protein function?
DNA sequences do not determine the function of any protein. DNA sequences determine the structure of the protein. That is particular amino acid sequence in protein only.
What are the structural and functional characteristics of a protein determined by?
amino acid sequence
How does a DNA molecule determine structures of a specific protein?
The DNA sequence will determine the amino acid sequence known as the protein's primary structure. As the protein is folded into the secondary, tertiary and quatranary structures, the amino acid molecules will determine the shape
Parts of chromosome that specify amino acid sequence in protein?
pattern of sugar
