Question

the diagram below shows a polypeptide chain folding to become a protein with a compact, 3 - dimensional structure. the fold shape of a protein is determined by the sequence of its amino acid residues. what determines the amino acid sequence? a. the number of nucleotides in the dna template b. the sequence of nucleotides in the dna template c. the number of molecules in the polypeptide d. the sequence of molecules in the polypeptide

Explanation:

The sequence of nucleotides in the DNA template determines the sequence of amino - acids during protein synthesis through the processes of transcription and translation. Each set of three nucleotides (a codon) in the DNA corresponds to a specific amino - acid.

Answer:

B. the sequence of nucleotides in the DNA template
