Well I think this question may be misphrased. Proteins are mad eup of chians of amino acids. Amino acids are encoded/ made up of nucleotides that are encoded by genes. There are 20 different amino acids in the human body that combine to form hundreds of thousands of proteins. It is not possible to know how many proteins genes produce because not all genes have even been decoded yet. Furthermore, even if all of the genes in the human body had been identified, these genes would encode different sequences of nucleotides, that would then encode for different amino acids, that could then combine to form nearly endless types of proteins.

What sections of DNA code the making of a specific protein?

The sections of DNA that code for a specific protein are called genes. Genes are made up of sequences of DNA that provide the instructions for synthesizing proteins through the process of transcription and translation. Each gene contains the information needed to produce a specific protein.


Can a single protein have multiple genes?

Yes. A protein produced by multiple genes are cased by fusion genes. Usually a protein is translated from a mRNA which is transcribed from a DNA. After transcription, RNA is rearranged by so-called RNA splicing in which some of short sequences are selected(Exon) or deleted(Intron). During the splicing two different genes can join together and it is called trans-splicing. After trans-splicing, mRNA is translated into a protein, so the protein has two genes. Most cases these fusion genes are oncogenes which cause Cancerous diseases.


What is the correct order from genes to protein?

The correct order from genes to protein is: DNA (genes) -> transcription -> mRNA -> translation -> protein. During transcription, the DNA sequence is copied into mRNA, which is then translated into a protein at the ribosome.


What types of genes does genetically modified canola contain?

Genetically modified canola typically contains genes that provide resistance to herbicides, such as glyphosate, and/or genes that produce proteins toxic to certain insects, such as Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) protein.


Are genes and proteins both made of DNA?

What are genes used for?

Genes are used to produce a certain protein or protein components for the cell and as a means to transport this information to the next generation.


What are the genes?

Genes are the sections of DNA that code for a functional product, such as a protein. They interact with an organism's environment to produce traits.


How many genes are there in DNA?

The human genome contains approximately 20,000-25,000 protein-coding genes. However, the total number of genes in DNA varies among different species.

What role do genes play in protein sythesis?

Genes are the basic unit of protein production in the genetic code. They play a role as the primary protein synthesis unit since, according to classic genetics, a gene encodes a protein product. Although the reality is more complicated, the basic concept is true enough.

A cell that contains large numbers of ribosomes would produce a large number of what biomolecule?

A cell that contains large numbers of ribosomes would produce a large number of proteins. Ribosomes are the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis, so an abundance of ribosomes indicates high levels of protein production within the cell.
