Question

the order of amino acids in a protein is determined by:

a. the code in a gene
b. the environment
c. the age of the organism
d. the sugars in dna

Explanation:

Genes contain the genetic code (in the form of DNA sequences). Through processes like transcription (to mRNA) and translation, this code determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein. The environment, age of the organism, and sugars in DNA (which are part of the DNA backbone but not the coding part for amino - acid sequence) do not directly determine the order of amino acids in a protein.

Answer:

A. the code in a gene
