What structure in the cell contains the instructions that tell the cell how to make proteins?
Genes are found in the nucleus , but proteins are made on ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
What organelle in the cytoplasm uses translation to manufacture proteins for use in the cell?
Probably a ribosome. Ribosomes make proteins and translate DNA into RNA to make these proteins.
Which statement best describes the relationship among proteins DNA and RNA?
Cells contain DNA,which controls the production of proteins
What are made up of genes?
Genes are made of DNA (or RNA - not in humans). They are sequences that encode for a functional product (usually a protein). Chromosomes contain genes.
. Ribosomes are made up of?
They are made up of RNA and proteins. mRNA refers to ribosomal RNA
Does proteins determine Genes?
No they are not. Proteins are synthesized as per the information present in the DNA or genes. So Genes are something which determine the phenotype or a character of an organism by making RNA and proteins.
Do protein store genetic information?
No, nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, store and translate genetic information into proteins. DNA -> RNA -> proteins The central dogma of molecular cell Biology.
What is ribosomes function?
RibosomesProduces proteins.
Vaccines can now be genetically engineered by inserting the genes that encode the pathogen's surface proteins into the what?
the RNA of the defective genes
What structure in the cell contains the instructions that tell the cell how to make proteins?
Genes are found in the nucleus , but proteins are made on ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
What DNA parts do not code for proteins?
There are many kinds of genes that do not code for proteins, most of them code for several distinct types of functional RNAs. For example: ribosomal RNA (rRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), guide RNA (gRNA), small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA), micro RNA (miRNA) and many others.
What are the functions of genes and proteins respectively?
Genes are a segment of DNA which codes for a RNA or proteins. In any case, the first process is transcription of mRNA that will be then transported to cytoplasm. RNA may or may not synthesize proteins depending on the nature and message coded in it. mRNA usually interact with tRNA and ribosomes to make proteins.
How does information move from genes to proteins?
look up RNA (ribose nucleic acid.)
What organelle in the cytoplasm uses translation to manufacture proteins for use in the cell?
Probably a ribosome. Ribosomes make proteins and translate DNA into RNA to make these proteins.
What are ribonuclear proteins and what is their function?
RNAR RNA Most genes are expressed as proteins. RNA stands for ribonucleic acid, and is a long linear polymer (a long chain) of nucleotides, found in the nucleus but mainly in the cytoplasm of a cell, where it is associated with microsomes. Ittransmits the genetic information from DNA, to the cytoplasm, and controls certain chemical processes in the cell.The function of RNA is to translate the genetic material stored in DNA, into protein structures. RNA essentially carries out the instructions of DNA.
How are proteins assembled without DNA leaving the nucleus?
DNA indeed never leaves the nucleus. Instead, activated genes get transcribed by RNA polymerase, producing an RNA copy of the gene. The RNA gets processed (capped, spliced) and becomes a mature messenger RNA (mRNA). The mRNA leaves the nucleus and sooner or later attaches to a ribosome. This will translate the information encoded in it into a protein.
How does mutation affect messenger RNA?
Only few genes lead to formation of the messenger RNA. If there is mutation in such genes, you get messenger RNA with new type of codons. So you get protein with different sequence of amino acids. Such proteins are usually identified by your immune system as foreign proteins. Such cells with foreign proteins are killed by your immune system. Few such cells lead to formation of various types of cancers.
