Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the name for this:each sequence of DNA bases encodes the information needed to make a unique protein
A
replication
B
one-gene, one-protein theory
C
one-gene, one-protein hypothesis
D
transcription
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A codon is a DNA or RNA sequence of three nucleotides (a trinucleotide) that forms a unit of genomic information encoding a particular amino acid or signaling the termination of protein synthesis (stop signals).

Detailed explanation-2: -The mRNA sequence is thus used as a template to assemble-in order-the chain of amino acids that form a protein. Figure 2: The amino acids specified by each mRNA codon. Multiple codons can code for the same amino acid.

Detailed explanation-3: -genetic code, the sequence of nucleotides in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) that determines the amino acid sequence of proteins. Though the linear sequence of nucleotides in DNA contains the information for protein sequences, proteins are not made directly from DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -The one gene–one enzyme hypothesis, proposed by George Wells Beadle in the US in 1941, is the theory that each gene directly produces a single enzyme, which consequently affects an individual step in a metabolic pathway.
