The key to understanding the function of DNA molecule is layered on the pattern of bases along one strand, of the two, that is formed, that is being transcribed into RNA and therefore being translated into a protein. The "readable" strand contains the information (understood as the pattern of base sequences) needed to build a whole protein or group of proteins. So, the recipe for each protein is encoded in a sequence of bases. An analogy is the way letters form written words; but protein is more like a long sentence than a single word, since it may be formed from hundreds of building blocks, called amino acids. The gene is a coded recipe for building a protein. One strand of DNA (called the "sense" strand) contains the recipe for the protein.
What else can I help you with?
What is the function of most DNA in your body?
The function of most DNA is to build and maintain an organism.
What provides the information for cell growth and function What is the word for it?
DNA provides the information for cell growth and function.
What is the function in the following reagents used in the extraction and precipitation of DNA?
The function of phenol-chloroform is to denature proteins and extract DNA into the organic phase, while the function of isopropanol is to precipitate DNA by causing it to become insoluble in the solution.
What is the function of DNA helicare in DNA replication?
DNA Helicase unwinds and unzips the DNA. It separates the two strands of DNA so DNA replication can occur.
How are they important to the function of the protein?
. What are RNA and DNA?
What is the function of most DNA in your body?
The function of most DNA is to build and maintain an organism.
What is the function of DNA chromosomes?
The main function of DNA chromosomes is to carry genes.
What is the function of plasmid DNA?
Plasmids have small pockets of DNA in them.
What is the function of a molecules?
To not be DNA
What function does a DNA polymerase have?
To split DNA strands to create doubles.
Is DNA a vestigial structure?
No. DNA is not a vestigial structure as it has not ceased to function
What provides the information for cell growth and function What is the word for it?
DNA provides the information for cell growth and function.
How does DNA polymerase function in the process of transcription?
DNA polymerase does not function in the process of transcription. Transcription is the process where RNA is synthesized from a DNA template by RNA polymerase. DNA polymerase, on the other hand, is involved in DNA replication, where it synthesizes a new DNA strand using a DNA template.
What is the function in the following reagents used in the extraction and precipitation of DNA?
The function of phenol-chloroform is to denature proteins and extract DNA into the organic phase, while the function of isopropanol is to precipitate DNA by causing it to become insoluble in the solution.
What is the function of DNA helicare in DNA replication?
DNA Helicase unwinds and unzips the DNA. It separates the two strands of DNA so DNA replication can occur.
What is the function of DNA a cell?
The function of DNA in a cell is to code the way proteins turn genes on or off, and to carry genetic material.
What transmits genetic information and controls cell function?
The DNA
