Do genes make proteins

Answer 1

Yes. Each codon specifies an amino acid or start or stop. A sequence of codons from start to stop is a gene and specifies a protein.

note. this answer is about 98% accurate. Many minor differences are known and more remain to be discovered. What is known already fills a small book.

Answer 2

No, it is a length of Dna; but the gene contains the information needed for the construction, or assembly, of (usually) ONE protein. A gene can also be said to include the always-necessary control sequences, typically Start and Stop functions.

Answer 3

Yes it can be called so because the instructions for 'the construction' of a protein from the Gene also includes the information that determines the 'Translation Start and Stop areas' and 'Areas' that determine the Cellular Destination of the protein Product.

Answer 4

Yes genes are responsible for proteins, but they not directly "making" it. There are cellular machinery in the cell that will synthesis proteins. Genes are DNA that transcribe the message into mRNA. This in turn translated to proteins by the machinery such as ribosomes.

Answer 5

Yes, genes contain the instructions for making proteins. The process begins with the transcription of DNA into mRNA in the cell nucleus, and then the mRNA is translated into proteins in the cytoplasm by ribosomes. This process is known as gene expression.

Answer 6

The genes are basically encoded instructions or templates for making proteins out of sequenced amino acids and other structures. Genes also regulate cell fuction.

Answer 7

no. they are nucleic acids
