Detailed explanation-1: -Each group of three bases in mRNA constitutes a codon, and each codon specifies a particular amino acid (hence, it is a triplet code). The mRNA sequence is thus used as a template to assemble-in order-the chain of amino acids that form a protein.
Detailed explanation-2: -Like words in a sentence, the DNA sequence of a gene determines the amino acid sequence for the protein it encodes. In the protein-coding region of a gene, the DNA sequence is interpreted in groups of three nucleotide bases, called codons. Each codon specifies a single amino acid in a protein.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The order of nitrogenous bases in DNA determines the order of amino acids in proteins.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
