What usually is a set of instructions for making a particular protein?
A set of instructions for making a particular protein is called a gene. Genes are made up of DNA sequences that encode the specific sequence of amino acids that make up a protein. These instructions are transcribed from DNA to mRNA and then translated into a protein by ribosomes.
A DNA strand is made of which make up which make up sentences?
A DNA molecule is composed of two strands of nucleotides.
What does a nucleus do in protein production and modification?
The nucleus is where DNA which codes for proteins is stored. The DNA is transcribed to make mRNA in the nucleus. The mRNA then leaves the nucleus where it is translated on the ribosomes into a series of amino acids which make up a protein. So the role of the nucleus is to tell the cell which proteins to make.
What are capsomeres?
Capsomeres are the individual proteins that make the capsid - the protective protein coat around a virus's nucleic acid. Some capsomeres can be composed of a single protein or mosaic. Capsomeres/Capsids come in a variety of shapes (helical, polyhedral, enveloped, complex)
The sequences of amino acids that make up a protein molecule are specified by?
The sequences of amino acids in a protein molecule are specified by the genetic code present in an organism's DNA. The information from DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated by ribosomes into the specific sequence of amino acids that make up the protein. Each set of three nucleotides in the RNA sequence, called a codon, corresponds to a specific amino acid.
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.
Why is it important to know about protein synthesis?
Controlles the genetic make up of DNA
What two structures make up a single replicated chromosome?
DNA and Protein
What is the general term that describes uncondensed DNA plus the protein associated with DNA?
Chromatin is the general term that describes uncondensed DNA plus the protein associated with DNA. Chromatin is the complex of DNA and proteins that make up chromosomes in the cell nucleus.
Which strand of DNA contains codes for the amino acids that make up a protein?
the sense strand
Which strand of DNA contains codes for amino acids to make up a protein?
The best strand
What 2 main things make up a chromosome?
Doubled stranded DNA and protein molecules
Why did DNA in Hershey-Chase experiments end up in the supernatant?
It didn't. The DNA ended up in the pellet-like bacteria that was at the bottom of the centrifuge. The protein capsids ended up in the supernatant because they weren't injected into the bacteria cells. The supernatant was separated from the bacteria cells because the bacteria was heavier and fell to the bottom.
What strand of DNA contains codes for the amino acids that make up a protein?
The messenger RNA (mRNA) strand contains the codes for the amino acids that make up a protein. During protein synthesis, the mRNA strand is used by ribosomes to read the genetic information and assemble the corresponding amino acids.
What is DNA complex?
A gene is a DNA protein complex. These are grouped together in chromatin and make up the nucleus of the cell.
What are Four compounds that make up life?
Four basic molecules are Carbohydrates, Lipids, Protein, and DNA/RNA
What is formed with coiled up DNA?
Coiled up DNA, combined with protein histone, forms chromosomes.
