Question

A specific stretch of dna that programs the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide is a ______.

Answer 1

Answer;

-Gene

A specific stretch of DNA that programs the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide is a gene.

Explanation;

-Genes are a section of DNA that are in charge of different functions like making proteins.Genes are responsible for all aspects of life. Long strands of DNA with lots of genes make up chromosomes. DNA molecules are found in chromosomes.

-Each gene occupies a specific position on a chromosome. Because genes provide instructions for making proteins, and proteins determine the structure and function of each cell in the body, it follows that genes are responsible for all the characteristics you inherit.

Answer 2

The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the hereditary material present in an organism. The DNA is divided into different segments, which codes for specific traits.

The stretch of the DNA, which codes for a specific sequence of amino acids is known as gene. The gene is the basic functional unit of the hereditary, and codes for a specific protein (not all the genes are involved in protein formation).

Hence, the given blank can be filled with gene.
