Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the name for a sequence of DNA bases?
A
gene
B
one-gene, one-protein
C
mRNA
D
tRNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic code is the term we use for the way that the four bases of DNA–the A, C, G, and Ts–are strung together in a way that the cellular machinery, the ribosome, can read them and turn them into a protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sanger sequencing: The chain termination method Regions of DNA up to about 900 base pairs in length are routinely sequenced using a method called Sanger sequencing or the chain termination method. Sanger sequencing was developed by the British biochemist Fred Sanger and his colleagues in 1977.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the steps, adenine is paired with thymine and guanine is paired with cytosine. Each pair of bases is held together by a hydrogen bond. A gene consists of a sequence of bases. Sequences of three bases code for an amino acid (amino acids are the building blocks of proteins) or other information.
