Very simply put, a gene is a region of DNA that codes for a protein DNA is composed of 4 different nucleotide bases- guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine. A group of three of these is called a codon. A codon codes for a particular amino acid. A protein is composed of a chain of amino acids put together in the codons are in. Therefore the genetic information is the sequence of codons and by extension the sequence of nucleotide bases.

∙ 11y agoit is complicated but we recall the nucleus is a small spherical and helix is in dna. dna helix is actually made of reapeating units called nucleotides.

On what molecule is the genetic code of the cell found?
Genetic code of the cell is found in a long molecule known as DNA.
What is a double walled structure containing the cells genetic code?
The cell membrane is a double-walled structure containing a cell's genetic code.
Is DNA genetic code or genetic blueprint?
DNA is the genetic code
What is secondary genetic code?
The secondary genetic code is the folding of protein.
Is the genetic code is arbitrary?
why genetic code is arbitraryif yesthen prov ur anser
How do nitrogen bases along a gene serve as a genetic code?
Yes, it is found in pairs Adenine with Thymine and Guanine with Cytosine...they are directly across from each other (horizontally) on the DNA line ( also known as a double helix) there can be many of these on one double helix
Why is RNA now thought to be the first genetic code?
Because it was a single- stranded piece, that could later be modified into a DNA which is a double Helix
What is the name of the twisted ladder shape of a DNA molecule?
nitrogenous bases linked together
What is the distinct segments of DNA that code for specific proteins called?
Double Helix
On what molecule is the genetic code of the cell found?
Genetic code of the cell is found in a long molecule known as DNA.
What is a double walled structure containing the cells genetic code?
The cell membrane is a double-walled structure containing a cell's genetic code.
What role did Francis crick have in the discovery on dna?
Francis Crick is co-discoverer of the double helix structure of DNA, along with James Watson. He played a pivotal role in research related to sequencing the genetic code.
The genetic code for protein synthesis is found within what?
The genetic code for protein synthesis is formed from Dna.
Where is genetic code stored?
Genetic code is stored in a macromolecule in the nucleus known as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA is shaped like a double helix (imagine a ladder that has been twisted) and is composed of two sugar-phosphate backbones and the four nucleobases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. Adenine pairs with thymine in the DNA sequence and cytosine pairs with guanine.
What is the genetic code found in Chromosomes called?
DNA
What is the genetic code found in chromosomes?
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is the sequence of nucleotides that contains the genetic information found in chromosomes
Which nitrogenous base would not be found in the nucleic acid that provides the genetic code?
Uracil is the nitrogenous base that is not found in DNA (the nucleic acid that provides the genetic code). Uracil is found in RNA.
