Question

complete the table to indicate whether each statement is true or false. the nucleotide sequence of a gene determines the amino acid sequence of a protein. the majority of human dna contains instructions to make proteins. the genetic code is specific to humans. the genetic code refers to the set of rules used to build proteins from genes. cells that contain the same dna can make different proteins. protein - coding dna determines traits, while non - coding dna has no known function.

Explanation:

1. The nucleotide sequence of a gene undergoes transcription and translation to determine the amino - acid sequence of a protein, so this is true.
2. Only a small portion of human DNA contains instructions to make proteins, with most being non - coding DNA, so this is false.
3. The genetic code is universal across most organisms, not specific to humans, so this is false.
4. The genetic code is the set of rules for translating the information in genes into proteins, so this is true.
5. Through processes like gene regulation, cells with the same DNA can make different proteins, so this is true.
6. Non - coding DNA has functions such as gene regulation, so this is false.

Answer:

1. True
2. False
3. False
4. True
5. True
6. False
