Does mRna contain the code for the sequence of amino acids needed to manufacture a protein?
Yes it does, and more. Ahead of, or in front of, the protein coding sequence we find the multi-purpose Leader Sequence[s]. They provide the 'addresses' for the locations where the Proteins are [pre-] destined to reside.
Now, the Cell has many Levels, and specific Proteins need to be assigned or Destined to specific Levels. This is what was meant by 'multi-purpose leader sequences': When a Protein arrives at Level One - if it is meant to be there the Leader Sequence is removed and the Protein takes up residence. Otherwise, just a portion of the Leader Sequence is removed, then the rest moves on to the next Level and the similar Process again occurs.
Eventually the last remaining piece of the Leader Sequence directs the Outermost Destined Protein to the Outermost Layer of the Cell, the Cell membrane, where it takes up useful residence.

What is the minimum number of building blocks needed to make a protein?
A protein is made up of a sequence of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. The minimum number of building blocks needed to make a protein is 20 different amino acids.
How many codons are in 1 protein?
The number of codons needed to code for a protein varies depending on the length of the protein. Each amino acid is coded for by a specific sequence of three nucleotides (a codon). Therefore, you would need to divide the total number of nucleotides in the protein's gene sequence by 3 to find the number of codons required.
Why are genes transcribed into Messenger RNA?
Genes are transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) as part of the process of protein synthesis. The mRNA contains the genetic information from the DNA that is needed to produce proteins. This mRNA then serves as a template for the ribosomes to translate the genetic code into a sequence of amino acids, which ultimately form a protein.
What mineral is needed for protein metabolism?
Nitrate is needed for protein metabolism.
Why does the cell need both mRNA and tRNA in order to synthesize a protein like hemoglobin?
DNA and RNA (m and t) are made of nucleotides. Proteins like hemoglobin are composed of amino acids. The mRNA specifies the sequence information needed for making the hemoglobin protein. This information is a direct and temporary copy of information contained on a gene on DNA. The tRNA is a separate molecule the carries an amino acid on it. It is like a mediator. It has sequence that matches to a small part of the sequence being specified by the mRNA. When the tRNA moves into the right position on the mRNA, the amino acid detaches from the tRNA and is added to the growing protein or polypeptide chain.
What molecules store information needed to manufacture protein?
The chromosome. It is very long single thread of DNA. There are many genes, which signal production of the protein molecules.

What are this type of nucleic acid carries the information needed to make proteins?
DNA carries the information.Base sequence determine the protein.

Therefore, you would need to divide the total number of nucleotides in the protein's gene sequence by 3 to find the number of codons required.
What tells the cells the order of the amino acids needed to build a protein?
The order of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in a gene, specifically in the mRNA molecule that is transcribed from the gene. This sequence is read by ribosomes during protein synthesis, which match each codon (a group of three nucleotides) with the corresponding amino acid.

How fruits help the body to stay healthy?
You need a variety of fruits to stay healthy. They contain the nutrition and protein that is needed by the body!!
What mineral is needed for protein metabolism?
Nitrate is needed for protein metabolism.
Do foods of high quality protein include all the essential amino acids?
Foods such as meat, fish, eggs and dairy products contain all the essential amino acids. However plant sources of protein only contain a few of the amino acids needed.
The functional units of DNA that contain the instructions for making one or more proteins are?
Genes. These are the sections of DNA that contain the instructions for a functional product, such as protein. Genes only make up a very small amount of human DNA, around 3% - but are vital for survival.
