Genetics as it applies to evolution, molecular biology, and
medical aspects. 3 posts • Page 1 of 1 Hey guys, I'm new to this
forum, and would appreciate if you could help me with a few
questions. Thanks in advance I actually have very simple
answers, so if I've missed out on anything important, then
please tell. Suppose you knew the makeup of specific proteins in
a cell. How would you determine the particular DNA code that
coded for them? ^ You would be working backwards, so first you
would find the amino acid known, then you would break them down
to find the tRNA code, and break that code down to find mRNA,
and break this code down to find the base pairs of DNA. How
could one change in a DNA nucleotide alter the formatin of the
translated protein? ^ One change in the nucleotide can put a
change in the amino acid and that can change the whole function
of the DNA. If DNA never leaves the nucleus during the growth of
a cell, explain briefly how it and the nucleus control most of
the cells activity like growth,
