Why did researchers suspect that DNA does not code for proteins directly?

The DNA codes for mRNA instead of directly into proteins because the DNA is contained in the nucleus.
The nuclear pores in the nuclear membrane do not let larger molecules out, so the mRNA is needed to transfer the sequence outside of the nucleus and to a ribosome where the amino acids to make a protein can be brought and linked together to create a protein.

The message of the DNA code is information for building what?
proteins
What does atgaaagcctatgcacca code for?
Methionine; Proline; Serine and STOP.
What takes advantage of repeated DNA sequences that do not code for proteins?
DNA fingerprinting is a technique that takes advantage of repeated DNA sequences that do not code for proteins. It is a useful technique in forensic science.
The parts of DNA that provide the code for proteins are the?
The parts of DNA that provide the code for protein are called genes.
The genetic code directs the synthesis of hundreds of different kinds of?
proteins
How is DNA translation controlled?
Translation of the mRNA code is controlled by enzymes. DNA is not directly translated into proteins.
What type of molecule dose genes they code for?
Genes code for proteins
What part of DNA provides the code of proteins?
The parts of DNA that code for proteins are called genes.
How many letters in the code for proteins and what are they called?
Three letters code for proteins which are called codons.
What part of DNA provides the code for proteins?
The parts of DNA that code for proteins are called genes.
What is a gene production?
Genes code for proteins, but they do not produce proteins.
The message of the DNA code is information for building what?
proteins
Why cant proteins be made directly from the DNA message and what is the middleman?
DNA does not leave the nucleus, and proteins are synthesized on the ribosomes in the cytoplasm and rough endoplasmic reticulum. The middleman is messenger RNA, or mRNA, which transcribes the DNA code in the nucleus and takes it to the ribosomes.
What does atgaaagcctatgcacca code for?
Methionine; Proline; Serine and STOP.
What do the genes do in a cell?
They code for proteins.
What monomers stored the code for proteins?
Nucleotides
What is made in translation from the code on mrna?
Proteins.
