transcription and translation
amino acids bond together to form polypeptides, and polypeptides bond together to form proteins. which of the following determines each amino acid to be assembled in a molecule of protein?
the sequence of bases on the entire strand of dna determines one amino acid
the sequence of genes along a strand of dna determines one amino acid.
the sequence of three bases on a section of dna determines one amino acid
the sequence of chromosome arrangement in a cell determines each amino acid
In genetics, a codon is a sequence of three DNA or RNA nucleotides that corresponds to a specific amino acid. The entire strand of DNA contains many genes and is not directly responsible for one amino acid. Genes are segments of DNA that code for proteins (which are made of amino acids), but it's the triplet of bases (codon) that determines a single amino acid. Chromosome arrangement in a cell is a much larger - scale organization and not directly related to specifying individual amino acids.
