No. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a nucleic acid, composed of phosphate and sugar groups, with purine and pyrimidine bases. However, it does bind to proteins called 'histones'. Proteins are comprised of one or more chains of amino acids bonded together. Answer No. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is the genetic information carrier which is composed of basic unit called a nucleotide consisting of a pentose sugar (2' deoxyribose), nitrogenous base (purines - adenine and guanine; pyrimidines - cytosine and thymine) and a phosphate group. The DNA is compacted into lengths called chromosomes by interacting with histones and other proteins. DNA is mainly localized to nucleus as well as mitochondria and chloroplasts. When DNA mutates, a disease or other abnormality may result. A mutation is a change in the base sequence of DNA. A protein is made of amino acids. DNA consists of two sugar-phosphate backbones, spiraling around each other in a double helix, and joined to each other along their lengths by base-pairs. The base-pairs are adenine with thymine, and cytosine with guanine; none of these are amino acids.

∙ 15y agoNo. Proteins are made of long chains of amino acids. DNA is made of long chains of only four nucelotides: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.

What is the long strand of DNA and protein?
What long strands of DNA and Protein are chromatin
What would happen to a protein if the gene was changed DNA?
Change the DNA code & you change the protein.
What is the section of DNA that codes for a protein called?
The section of DNA that codes for a protein is known as a gene.
What are the products of DNA translation?
A protein.
How can a mutation in DNA base sequence cause a change in a protein?
dna in a cell needs protein and chromosomes.
In gene expression and protein synthesis information flows from?
DNA --> RNA --> Proteins -----------------------------------------That simple.
What is the bacteriophage used by hershy and chase consisted of two types of molecules?
protein and DNA
What tells ribosomes how to assemble a protein?
DNA tells a ribosome how to assemble a protein.
Is DNA a protein or not?
That depends. DNA undergoing replication is assisted by varieties of proteins to make a new strand. Also, in order for DNA to be coiled into chromosomes, the DNA must be wrapped around the protein histone. But in the actual structure of DNA, no, there are no proteins.
How does DNA determine a protein's shape?
DNA determines a protein's shape by determining the sequence of the amino acids in a protein.
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 does heat do to the DNA polymerase?
Heat denatures protein. DNA polymerase is an enzyme and a protein.
What describes pieces of DNA to make protein?
A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a protein.
What 11 letter word is made of protein and DNA?
Chromosomes are made of protein and DNA.

What is the action of a DNA binding protein?
dna binding protein binds the 2 anti parallel strands of dna together
What is DNA to RNA to protein?
Protein synthesis
