What else can I help you with?
Molecules consisting of subunits called nucleotides are called?
[Macromolecular] Chains of ribose based nucleotides are Rna while Chains of 2'-Deoxy Ribose based nucleotides are called Dna.
The rule that describes how a sequence of nucleotides?
A sequence of nucleotides follows the genetic code, which is a set of rules that specifies how the information in DNA is translated into proteins. The genetic code uses a three-letter code called codons to represent each amino acid in a protein. This sequence of nucleotides is read in groups of three to produce the corresponding amino acid during protein synthesis.
Do nucleotides only pair with certain other nucleotides based on their properties?
Yes, nucleotides pair with specific complementary nucleotides based on their chemical properties.
How would you determine the size of a gene?
To determine the size of a gene, scientists typically use techniques such as DNA sequencing or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to analyze the specific sequence of nucleotides that make up the gene. By comparing the sequence to known genetic information, researchers can estimate the size of the gene based on the number of nucleotides it contains.
What determines the sequence of amino-acids in a protein?
The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene that codes for that protein. This gene is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) which is then translated into a specific sequence of amino acids based on the genetic code. Each set of three nucleotides (codon) in the mRNA specifies a particular amino acid to be added to the growing protein chain.
What is the name of the chemical reaction when a strand of messenger RNA is formed from individual nucleotides?
The process of forming a strand of messenger RNA from individual nucleotides is called transcription. During transcription, an enzyme called RNA polymerase helps to assemble the nucleotides in the correct sequence based on the DNA template.

What dictates the corresponding sequence of amino acids in a growing polypeptide chain?
The sequence of amino acids being added to the growing polypeptide chain is controlled by the instructions (codons, 3-base codes) on the mRNA. These are a copy of the coding regions of the gene from the DNA in the nucleus.
Chronological thinking is when you?
Put events in sequence and make connections based on continuity and change.
What is the sequence of the peptide based on the mRNA sequence 5'uuuuccuauugucuu3'?
The mRNA sequence provided is "5' UUUUCCUAUUGUCUU 3'". To convert this into a peptide sequence, we need to group the mRNA sequence into codons (3 nucleotides each) first. The codons are UUU, UCC, UAU, UUG, UCU. Using the genetic code, we can translate these codons to the corresponding amino acids, which are Phenylalanine (F), Serine (S), Tyrosine (Y), Leucine (L), and Serine (S). Therefore, the peptide sequence would be FSYLS.
Which nucleotides join to form based pairs?
A-T and G-C
How does the code in DNA relate to the amino acid sequence in a protein?
Only a small proportion of the genome codes for protein sequence. These regions of protein coding sequence reside within genes and are called exons. Within the exons, a group of three bases (known as a codon) will code for one amino acid. There is some degeneracy in the code; that is, for some amino acids there is more than one codon (group of three bases) that will code for a specific amino acid (see codon table for specific translation).
