DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The order of nitrogen bases determines what about proteins?
A
amino acids
B
nucleotides
C
codons
D
anticodons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The order of nitrogenous bases in DNA determines the order of amino acids in proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -The actual order of the amino acids in the protein is called its primary structure and is determined by DNA. The order of deoxyribonucleotide bases in a gene determines the amino acid sequence of a particular protein.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sequence of basis on the DNA molecule is what directs the sequence of amino acids in the protein molecule-that’s how it all links together! So, the sequence of bases in DNA codes for the sequence of amino acids of a protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Sequence of Amino Acids in a Protein Determines Its Folded Structure. The specific order of amino acids in a protein is known as its primary structure. It is this sequence that determines the three-dimensional architecture of a protein.

Detailed explanation-5: -The significance of the unique sequence, or order, of amino acids, known as the protein’s primary structure, is that it dictates the 3-D conformation the folded protein will have. This conformation, in turn, will determine the function of the protein.
