A specific stretch of DNA that programs the amino acid sequence of a protein is a
A. nucleic acid
B. protein
C. gene
D. enzyme
A specific stretch of DNA that programs the amino acid sequence of a protein is a (C) gene. In simple words, a gene is defined as the piece of DNA that forms the directs protein synthesis by arranging amino acids in a directed sequence. Thus, gene forms the basic functional unit of DNA.

What does the enzyme reverse transcriptase do? A) Using the amino acid sequence of a protein as a template, it makes an RNA molecule. B) Using RNA as a template, it makes a DNA molecule. C) Using RNA as a template, it makes an RNA molecule. D) Using DNA as a template, it makes an RNA molecule. E) Using DNA as a template, it makes a DNA molecule.
DNA, Genes and Protein Synthesis Activity 13: Protein Synthesis is the process by which cells produce (synthesize) proteins. An overview of the process is shown in model 2 (below). Gone 2 Gene 1 Gene 3 DNA strand3 TRANSLATION Protein Trp Gly Model 2 ACTIVITY and QUESTIONS 1. Based on the information you can gather from model 1 complete the following sentences: a. The nucleotide Adenine (A) always pairs with the nucleotide b. The nucleotide Guanine (G) always pairs with the...

QU. 5. You have identified the complete amino acid sequence on protein sequencing techniques. "Y" is composed of 44 amino acids with the po below. No information is available about its genetic sequence. Your task sequence for protein "Y". Assume that the gene sequence is unique in the human 5 BRIEFLY EXPLAIN methodically and accurately how you will decipher the gene seg "Y". (3 POINTS). no acid sequence of a human protein called "Y" using 1.44 amino acids with the...
What is the gene sequence(FASTA format) and amino acid sequence for the CFTR gene/protein? If you can provide a link to where you find this, that would be amazing!
> Use the provided DNA sequence to generate an amino acid sequence > Replication: use base pairing rules (A-T, C-G) to create a new strand of DNA > Transcription: use the new strand of DNA to make a strand of RNA; don't forget that RNA uses U instead of T > Translation: use the genetic code to determine the amino acid sequence
. Examine the DNA triplets here and determine the amino acid sequence they code. Then provide different DNA sequence that will produce the same protein. TAC CAG ATA CAC TCC CCT:
If you know the DNA sequence a gene, it is possible to determine the mRNA sequence and the amino acid (Protein) sequence. If you only know the protein sequence, would you be able to accurately determine the mRNA sequence and DNA sequence? Explain.
The substitution of a T for an A in the protein coding sequence of the globin gene introduced a SNP. This SNP changed an amino acid resulting in sickle cell anemia. Unaffected individuals have the DNA sequence GAGGAG, a BseRI restriction enzyme site, in their gene generating two DNA fragments of 2 and 4 kb. The A to T substitution occurs within the BseR1 site thus inactivating the site (GTGGAG). Draw the RFLP gel including results for a carrier, as...
