What produces proteins by following coded instructions from the nucleus?

Ribosomes are responsible for producing proteins by reading the coded instructions from the nucleus in the form of messenger RNA (mRNA). Ribosomes translate the mRNA sequence into a specific amino acid sequence to build proteins.


The function of the coded instructions contained in the body cells of an organism is to?

The function of the coded instructions contained in the body cells of an organism is to direct the synthesis of proteins necessary for proper cell function.


What materials does the genetic code produce?

The genetic code produces proteins by specifying the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. These amino acids are coded for by specific sequences of nucleotides in the DNA. The proteins produced play crucial roles in nearly all cellular functions.


The set of instrustions for making proteins that are coded in DNA and passed from parent to offspring each generation are called?

The set of instructions for making proteins coded in DNA and passed from parent to offspring each generation are called genes. Genes are the basic units of heredity and determine the traits and characteristics of an organism.


Where does instructions are coded and stored in the cell?

Instructions are coded and stored in the cell's DNA. DNA is a long molecule that contains the genetic information necessary for the growth, development, and functioning of living organisms. The instructions coded in DNA are transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) and then translated into proteins, which carry out most of the work in a cell.
