Best Answer

mRNA has the codon sequence that exactly correspond to the amino acid sequence. The DNA has two strands. Though one of the strands (coding strand) carries the same information as on the mRNA, it contains unspliced introns that will mess up the amino acid sequence.

Does the sequence of dna determine the sequence of amino acids in a protein?

Yes. GCT ACG AAU All codons represent one amino acid except uracil will be substituted for thymine in the mRNA.


Does mRNA have uracil?

Uracil is the amino acid which replaces the DNA amino acid Thymine.


How did scientists find the gene that makes insulin?

Scientists used the amino acid code to find the DNA base sequence,i.e. they worked backwards from mRNA to DNA.They figured out the DNA sequence from the amino acid sequence- APEXthey figured out the dna sequence from the amino acid sequence

How are the codes for specific amino acids formed?

Transcription of the DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA contains the anti-codons for ribosomal binding, so the transfer RNA (tRNA) can add the corresponding amino acid. This part is known as translation.


Why DNA synthesis only protein?

The DNA codons represent amino acids, therefore DNA is the template by which our cells make amino acid chains called proteins, via mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA.


What is the job of the ribosomes in cells?

The ribosome is used in mRNA translation. The ribosome reads codons of mRNA (transcribed from DNA) and translates them into an amino acid sequences. These amino acid chains then undergo various forms of coiling and folding into a finished protein.
