How does amino acid sequence compare?
An amino acid sequence can be compared by using an electron microscope. The sequence of one acid can be viewed and then directly compared to another.
Which amino acid corresponds to these guanine adenine uracil bases?
Asp Apex
What is directly responsible for the sequence of amino acids in a protein?
The sequence of codons in mRNA, or messenger RNA, is most directly responsible for the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Each codon is comprised of 3 nucleotides.
When building an amino acid sequence what molecule picks up the amino acids and brings them to the ribosome?
the tRna.
Molecule whose properties determined by sequence of amino acids?
Codon
Does a sequence of three bases form a amino acid?
No, a sequence of three bases (called a codon) does not directly form an amino acid. However, each codon in a sequence of DNA or RNA corresponds to a specific amino acid, according to the genetic code. The sequence of codons determines the order in which amino acids are assembled during protein synthesis.
Which of the chains of amino acids corresponds to the nucleotide sequence uca-agc-gua?
Which of the chains of amino acids corresponds to the nucleotide sequence AAUGGCUAC? A. valine-glycine-stop B. methionine-tryptophan-leucine C. isoleucine-arginine-leucine D. asparagine-glycine-tyrosine
Which best describes how scientists the human gene that makes insulin?
They figured out the DNA sequence from the amino acid sequence
Which best describes how scientists found he human gene that makes insulin?
they worked backwards from mRNA to DNA Ap#x
Which best describes how scientists found the human gene that makes insulin?
They figured out the DNA sequence from the amino acid sequence
What is the sequence of bases in DNA that codes for a single amino acid?
A sequence of three nitrogen bases, called a codon, codes for a single amino acid.
What does each codon in mRNA specify?
Each codeword on mRNA corresponds with a single amino acid. However, There can be multiple codewords corresponding with the same amino acid.
What type of mutation in the DNA leads to a single change in the amino acid sequence of the protein?
Yes, it already has by changing the amino acid you have a mutation. That one amino acid counld be in the active site of an enzyme and that one amino acid being changed could result in loss of function or reduction in function of the enzyme. Sickle cell animea is caused by a single such amino acid substiution.
Specific function of a protein is determined by?
exact sequence of amino acids
What influences protein shape that determines protein function?
Amino acid sequence primarily determines a proteins shape, but secondary (alpha helix and beta sheet) and tertiary structures (Hydrogen bonding, other chemical bonding between structures) adds to it.
How would the amino acid sequence produced by the mutant strand compare to the amino acid sequence produced by series 1?
one amino acid in the sequence would change
What determines the amino acid sequence in a protein?
The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA, and this is determined by the sequence of nucleotide bases in the DNA.
