In DNA and RNA, what “codes for amino acids”? combinations of nucleotides

combinations of sugars

combinations of proteins

combinations of strands

The correct answer is - combinations of nucleotides

Explanation:

The codes for amino acids are encoded in the DNA and RNA in the form of the trinucleotide codons that contain three base sequences which copied in the complementary bases sequence mRNA and then decoded by the ribosome with help of tRNA to produce the original sequence in amino acid sequence or peptide chain.

This nucleotide is also code in the set of 3 base sequences similarly one amino acid is made up of the triplet code.

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
