What is a linear stretch of DNA that specifies the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide?
A linear stretch of DNA that specifies the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide is called a gene. The primary function of DNA ligase is to seal new short stretches of nucleotides into one continuous strand.
What is the splitting of proteins into amino acids which are then used to make new proteins?
Yes, they can be broken into amino acids. For example, when we eat food as humans our gastrointestinal system will break the proteins in our food into peptides then into amino acids.
What cannot be used to form new glucose in the body?
amino acids.
When the four DNA bases are combined in triplets different what of the protein are called for?
Amino Acids? I'm not positive but I'm working on the packet and have the same question.
How a second amino acid would bond to cysteine in forming the primary strusture of a protein?
A condensation reaction between the acid group of one amino acid and the amino group of another forms a covalent bond between two amino acids. A water molecule is also produced. A new bond formed is called a peptide bond.

Ribosomes use amino acids to assemble new?
proteins...
What do organisms begin to make when they receive new genes?
Amino acids.
What cannot be used to form new glucose in the body?
amino acids.
When translation end what happens to the new amino acids?
It folds into a protein When translation ends, the new amino acid chain folds into a protein.
What is the reaction by which polypeptides are formed?
Giving a little more details to my colleagues' answers above, I would point out that the main characteristic of the protein synthesis, from the union of amino acids in the ribosome (process called "translation"), is the formation of the peptide bond. This is the most important characteristic of the secondary and tertiary structure of polypeptides and therefore of proteins. Peptide bond was discovered by Linnus Pauling and Robert Corey in the 1940s that determined that is a chemical bond with a rigid, planar structure which, Pauling pointed out, is a consequence of resonance interactions that give the peptide bond an about 40% double bond character. Therefore, the backbone of a polypeptide chain is a linked sequence of rigid planar peptide groups which can rotate in different tortion angles (rotation angles or dihedral angles) giving the proper tertiary structure in a complex process called: "protein folding" in order to be a polypeptide molecule with biological activity.
The ribosome use these amino acids to assemble new?
Ribosomes use messenger RNA or mRNA and transfer RNA or tRNA to encode Proteinogenic amino acids into protein. (If you want a further explanation, comment and I'll be happy to explain/share a link)

What role do amino acids play in protein synthesis?
Protein synthesis is the process of putting amino acids together to form a protein. So it's not a matter of which amino acids are vital. If you are asking which amino acids are vital in the synthesis of a specific protein, that would totally depend on which protein you are making.
What process is used to link amino acidstogether?
, Amino acids are linked together through the process of translation, the making of a protein. When translation occurs, mRNA recruits tRNA that has complementary amino acids to the ribosome. The tRNA goes through the three sites on the ribosome and the amino acids will be joined together by a peptide bond at the peptidyl-tRNA molecure site. As the tRNA reaches the terminal site it dispatches from the amino acid and takes off to find new corresponding amino acids, while the previous amino acid is joined to other amino acids by the peptide bonds, forming a protein altogether. Hope this helps.
