What determines the type of protein that is produced in protein synthesis?
LesliePaola
This could be answered a few ways, but at the most specific, it is the codons that are translated via tRNA which make a protein.
Each codon, represented by 3 nucleotides, "codes" for an amino acid. A string of amino acids make a protein, thus the nucleotides in the codons determines the product.
To get to this point, requires transcription from DNA into mRNA and then mRNA is translated into the amino acids, so you could say that DNA itself determines the protein produced; however, it is actually the codons in the mRNA that are used to make the protein.
The section of DNA that is transcribed is called a gene, so you could also say that it is the gene that determines what is produced.

What type of functional RNA is a primary component of the structures required for protein synthesis?
mRNA
What is the process called where the body converts amino acids into others?
The process of converting amino acids into protein is protein synthesis. It is a type of condensation reaction as water molecules are formed.
What type of RNA is involved in protein synthesis?
Firstly, messenger RNA (mRNA) that takes the message from the DNA to the ribosomes. Secondly ribosomal RNA (rRNA) which helps catalyze the synthesis of the protein when transfer RNA (tRNA) brings a single amino acid to the ribosome for insertion into the growing polypeptide chain.
What type of cell organelle would be found in hepatocytes in large numbers and be responsible for protein synthesis?
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), which is covered in ribosomes, is found in abundance in hepatocytes and is responsible for protein synthesis. The reason hepatocytes are rich in RER is because they produce a large amount of proteins, including clotting factors and plasma proteins.
How is DNA used to make protein explain in paragraph?
Firt of all a messanger RNA is synthsized by the DNA present in the chromosome template. This process is called transcription. The message for the type of protein to be synthesized is coded in mRNA. This mRNA comes out from nucleus through nuclear pore and travelles through endoplasmic reticulae in the cytoplasm. Reaching at the apporopriate site, the message for protein synthesis is delivered to ribosomes, who in turn assemble the desired amenoacids for protein synthesis and the protein is synthesized as per message given by the DNA.
Ribosomes are the sites where what occurs?
Ribosomes are composed of RNA and proteins and are within all cells with nuclei.
What type of RNA transcribes the DNA code for protein synthesis?
mRNA
Into which type of molecule are DNA sequences transcribed for protein synthesis?
Messenger DNA
What type of functional RNA is a primary component of the structures required for protein synthesis?
mRNA
During viral protein synthesis what type of genetic molecule is used?
Messenger RNA
Which of the following incorrectly matches the type of cell type of protein and site of the proteins synthesis?
prokaryote, plasma membrane protein, ribosome bound to plasma membrane
What organelle is responsible for producing protein?
ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in a cell. prokaryotes consists of 70s type of ribosome whereas eukaryotes consists of 80s type of ribosome.
What is the synthesis of new compounds within the body?
is a type of protein and u need protien to survive
Which type of molecule is DNA sequences transcribed for protein synthesis?
DNA is transcribed to Messenger RNA (mRNA), and protein coding mRNAs form proteins
What determines the type of protein that is formed?
The DNA code ... it assigns each amino acid in the sequence.
What type of reaction happens when you bake a cake combustion single displacement double displacement synthesis or decomposition?
It is synthesis because new things are being produced
In which type of cell are ribosomes found plant animal or both?
both. They are even in prokariyotes.They are essential for protein synthesis
