DNA contains no amino acids, it contains nucleic acids. Proteins can contain from 2 amino acids to tens of thousands.

What organic compound within your body does DNA code for?
DNA codes for the amino acids in proteins. The DNA code indicates the sequence of amino acids in a protein. The sequence of amino acids determines the three-dimensional structure of the protein, which determines its function.
If a DNA is 50 kilo Dalton how many amino acids are there?
There are no amino acids in DNA.
How many amino acids does the strand of DNA code for?
The DNA strand is split into threes called amino acids. The DNA strand is agg-gat-tac-agg so four amino acids.
Are Both DNA and RNA are proteins?
No. Instead, these are considered nucleic acids. Proteins are made up of sequence of amino acids and nucleic acids are made up of phosphate group, nitrogen base, and a pentose.
How many different amino acids are know to be incorporated into ptotein?
The central dogma of biology is turning DNA to proteins. The proteins job (function) Is given when the amino acids are passed to it. There's only one Amino acid per protein. BTW the proteins main job is to transport.
How many proteins does a strand of DNA have?
It depends on the nucleic acids information. Proteins are created by amino acids.
How many amino acids make the genome?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, not DNA, which makes up the genome.
How does DNA help make proteins?
The order of bases in DNA is a code. Proteins are made of substances called, " Amino acids". A long strand of amino acids forms a protein.
What is an example of amino acids and proteins?
DNA, or Deoxyribonucleic acid.
Amino acids is what gives us traits from your parents?
Proteins determine how a gene is expressed. Proteins are composed of amino acids that are synthesized (put together) by RNA, and RNA is made from DNA. DNA is what you inherit from your parents--very basically, your genes are sections of DNA that code for certain proteins (that are composed of amino acids).
Why do you need amino acids in your diets?
amino acids make up proteins and proteins make up DNA which has all the information your body needs
What organic compound within your body does DNA code for?
DNA codes for the amino acids in proteins. The DNA code indicates the sequence of amino acids in a protein. The sequence of amino acids determines the three-dimensional structure of the protein, which determines its function.
What are long strands of amino acids called?
Long chains of amino acids are called polypeptides.
Nucleotides are to nucleic acids as amino acids are to?
An amino acid is the monomer used to create proteins. Nucleotides are the basic unit used to make nucleic acids (such as DNA). Therefore an amino acid is to a protein as a nucleotide is to a nucleic acid.
If a DNA is 50 kilo Dalton how many amino acids are there?
There are no amino acids in DNA.
How many amino acids does the strand of DNA code for?
The DNA strand is split into threes called amino acids. The DNA strand is agg-gat-tac-agg so four amino acids.
How proteins differ?
Proteins differ each other in their amino acid composition and the number of amino acids that form it. Not all the proteins are the same, although they are all made up of amino acids. the sequence of amino acids is determined by the mRNA which is transcribed by DNA in the nucleus.
