what serves as an assembly line for each protein manufactured by the cell?
how many letter are in each word of the dna or rna language?
how many letters are in the dna and rna code or alphabet?
Why is it possible to have more then one kind of dna or Rna?
what is the origin of the initial instructions for protein sythesis?
if you can answer most of the questions, you'll get 20 ptsDna...................?
Proteins are built on the ribosomes. The mRNA is the string with the instructions, and the tRNA brings the amino acids (the parts that are used to build the proteins.)
Each codon has 3 letters or bases.
DNA has 4 letters or bases: AT CG adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine.
RNA has 4 letters or bases: AU CG adenine, URACIL, cytosine, guanine.
The letters or bases can be arranged in a practically infinite number of ways.
DNA has the instructions for making proteins.Dna...................?
There are additional bases in RNA such as inosine (I) that are important in the structure of tRNAs and are partially responsible for the redundancy of the genetic code due to "wobble" pairing of the third base in a codon with a U or I in the tRNA.
