Question

The sequence of bases in DNA is transcribed to RNA and then decoded into a sequence of amino acids specified by that code. The sequence of amino acids is specific to the protein encoded by the gene. Proteins have the ability to fold into specific shapes that determine their function because of:

A. the dynamics of cytoplasmic streaming in the cellB. intelligent design providing a purpose for every proteinC. the presence of actin fibers in muscle tissuesD. the sequence of amino acids specified by the geneE. the process of transcription of mRNA in the nucleus.

Answer 1

D. the sequence of amino acids specified by the gene

Step-by-step explanation:

In molecular biology, the central dogma explains the flow of the genetic information, this process has two steps: first, genes are transcribed into messenger RNAs (mRNAs), and subsequently, these mRNAs are translated into proteins (gene flow: DNA >> RNA >> protein). Thus, the genetic code is used for coding specific protein sequences
