Question

1. in the previous question you identified a molecule that was responsible for changing the outcome of a proteins amino acid sequence and shape. determine what molecule was the source of information for a proteins sequence and shape. i need a hint trna amino acids dna rrna mrna

Explanation:

To determine the molecule that is the source of information for a protein's sequence and shape, we analyze each option:

• tRNA (transfer RNA) is responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome during translation, not the source of the sequence information.
• Amino Acids are the building blocks of proteins, not the source of the sequence information.
• DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) contains the genetic code. The sequence of nucleotides in DNA is transcribed into mRNA, and this information ultimately determines the amino acid sequence (and thus the shape) of a protein.
• rRNA (ribosomal RNA) is a component of ribosomes, which are the sites of protein synthesis, but it does not carry the sequence information for the protein.
• mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for translation, but the original source of the information is DNA.

Answer:

C. DNA
