Yes. Knowing which nucleotide base codon the amino acids is made of, you can "decode" amino acids to the original DNA sequence.

Answer:

Yes if we know an amino acid sequence present in an mRNA we can figure out the DNA for that sequence. As the amino acid sequence are triplet codon present on an mRNA strand so the sequence that is complementary of the triplet codon would be present in the DNA.

For example, one amino acid sequence is AUG so the complementary sequence in the DNA for this amino acid sequence would be TAC. So in place of uracil adenine come in DNA.

Therefore by complementary base pairing of the amino acid sequence, we can find out the DNA for that sequence.

Answer:

Enzymes attached with the body of substrate and speedup the reaction.

Explanation:

Enzymes attached with the body of substrate i. e. starch and increase the speed of break down and when the substrate is broken down, these enzymes detached from the substrate. Enzymes are the chemical substances present in the body of organism which helps to speedup the process of digestion. The digestion of starch starts from the mouth with the help of salivary enzyme and this starch is converted into smaller molecules which can be absorbed by the cells.
