Elenna [48]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

directing the synthesis of proteins necessary for proper cell function.

Explanation:

The nucleic acids include DNA and RNA. Instructions on DNA are transcribed into messenger RNA. Ribosomes are able to read the genetic information inscribed on a strand of messenger RNA and use this information to string amino acids together into a protein thus directing the synthesis of proteins necessary for proper cell function.

Protein composes 10-30% of cell mass and is the basic structural material of the body. However, not all proteins are constructio
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Amino acids

Explanation:

Like a house, every molecule is formed of units (blocks) that determine their structure and function. Proteins have a diverse functions in the body and are very important in multiple biological processes.  Proteins are molecules called polymers (molecules formed by monomers), the simplest units of proteins are the amino acids (building blocks). The amino acids are bind together by peptide bonds and when the chain of amino acids is less than 30 is called peptide and more than 30 is called protein. Every amino acid has a special structure and the type and number of aminoacids determinate the structure and function of the protein.

What process is the fastest way to produce copies of dna?
larisa [96]
PCR, polymerase chain reaction, is the fastest way to artificially (in a laboratory) multiply few copies of DNA into many, in order to create enough of a sample to use for other genetic testing.
It is used quite often in forensic science, such as magnifying a small recovered sample of DNA from body fluids or tissue samples at a crime scene, into a vastly greater quantity of DNA for identification of suspect(s) or victim(s).
