Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which factor most affects the order of amino acids in a protein?
A
the DNA located in the nucleus of the cell
B
the cell in which the protein is located
C
the amount of ATP available for the cell’s use
D
the area in a cell where proteins are produced
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each mRNA dictates the order in which amino acids should be added to a growing protein as it is synthesized. In fact, every amino acid is represented by a three-nucleotide sequence or codon along the mRNA molecule.

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.
