protein sequences are more conserved because it has a redundancy of its genetic code.
A gene is a DNA sequence that codes for a protein.
The DNA carries the instructions for protein synthesis. These instructions are copied onto mRNA, which then travels to the ribosome. At the ribosome, the mRNA is translated into the correct sequence of amino acids.
dna in a cell needs protein and chromosomes.
The primary structure of a protein is the sequence of amino acids in the protein. This is determined by the sequence of bases in the DNA ie by the genetic code. Each group of three bases in DNA codes for one amino acid in the protein ie it is a triplet code.
Discuss/diagram the process from gene to protein. In other words, how do we build a protein based on a sequence of DNA?

DNA sequences do not determine the function of any protein. DNA sequences determine the structure of the protein. That is particular amino acid sequence in protein only.
DNA determines the sequence of the amino acids (building blocks) in a protein. The sequence of nitrogen bases in the DNA determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
A gene is a DNA sequence that codes for a protein.
Name for a sequence of DNA bases that code for one protein?
The exon codes for the opening sequence of DNA for protein synthesis. It is a sequence of nucleotides that code for the RNA to begin transcription of the DNA to RNA protein.
DNA determines a protein's shape by determining the sequence of the amino acids in a protein.
The DNA carries the instructions for protein synthesis. These instructions are copied onto mRNA, which then travels to the ribosome. At the ribosome, the mRNA is translated into the correct sequence of amino acids.
The sequence of basis on the DNA molecule is what directs the sequence of amino acids in the protein molecule - that's how it all links together! So, the sequence of bases in DNA codes for the sequence of amino acids of a protein.
