Question
nitrogenous (nitrogen) bases are located on both strands of dna double helix. what is the significance of nitrogen bases? the order of the bases determines the order of the amino acid that make up the protein the type of h bonding between bases determines the amino acid that makes up the protein the amount of t and g in dna determines the length of the genes the # of as and cs determine the type of rna produced
The sequence of nitrogenous bases in DNA (adenine - A, thymine - T, guanine - G, cytosine - C) forms the genetic code. This code is read in triplets (codons) during translation to determine the order of amino - acids in a protein. The type of hydrogen bonding between bases is just a stabilizing feature and not what determines the amino - acid sequence. The amounts of specific bases like T and G do not determine gene length, and the number of A's and C's does not determine the type of RNA produced.
