Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What determines the shape and function of a protein?
A
The type of bases in DNA
B
How the protein folds
C
The number of amino acids
D
The order of amino acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As a result of all of these interactions, each type of protein has a particular three-dimensional structure, which is determined by the order of the amino acids in its chain. The final folded structure, or conformation, adopted by any polypeptide chain is generally the one in which the free energy is minimized.

Detailed explanation-2: -The primary structure of a protein-its amino acid sequence-drives the folding and intramolecular bonding of the linear amino acid chain, which ultimately determines the protein’s unique three-dimensional shape.

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 shape and function of a protein are primarily determined by its amino acid sequence, also known as its primary structure. The sequence of amino acids determines the folding pattern of the protein, which creates its unique three-dimensional shape, also known as its tertiary structure.

Detailed explanation-5: -The order and properties of amino acids determine the shape of the protein. The shape of the protein determines the function of the protein.
