DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why is the sequence of A, T, C, G important in DNA?
A
gives DNA strength
B
determines proteins produced
C
defines ability for organism to reproduce
D
allows DNA to unwind
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The correct sequence of DNA bases is important because if the base sequence is incorrect, then the protein will not be made or the protein that is made will not work properly. Therefore, the cell won’t be able to do its job.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sequence of the bases?, A, C, G and T, in DNA determines our unique genetic code and provides the instructions for producing molecules in the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The bases are the “letters” that spell out the genetic code. In DNA, the code letters are A, T, G, and C, which stand for the chemicals adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, respectively. In base pairing, adenine always pairs with thymine, and guanine always pairs with cytosine.

Detailed explanation-5: -The sequence of amino acids in a protein and protein function are determined by the genetic code. A protein that catalyzes, or speeds up, a specific biochemical reaction without changing the nature of the reaction.
