How does structure of dna relate to the process of replication and protein synthesis?

Hello Sophia,
The structure of DNA relates to the process of replication and protein synthesis actually in many ways. DNA is a nucleus acid, one of the 4 major macromolecules (polymers). It provides the instructions for making proteins. When DNA replicates, one strand is used as a template for DNA polymerase to joint corresponding nitrogenous bases. Small, individual sections of the DNA are called genes, which code for a specific protein. STRUCTURE ALWAYS DETERMINES FUNCTION! Thus, DNA tells the cells which amino acids (building blocks of proteins) and in what order for the ribosomes (found in the cytoplasm) to synthesize. These proteins then determine our traits and characteristics. It may be more than you need, but hopefully it helps somewhat. Great question, though! Biology is so interesting, when you think about it! It makes our world and our selves.

Protista are eukaryotic organisms that are neither plants, animals or fungi. They do not have a natural group with whom they share common ancestor. They have a unique features that set them apart from the rest of the kingdom which are unicellular and microscopic.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

a. surrounds individual muscles.

Explanation:

Individual muscle fibers have layers of connective tissue surrounding them. Epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium are the three layers of connective tissue that extend from the fascia and protect the muscle fibers. Epimysium is the outer most layer of connective tissue of individual muscle fiber. It encircles the entire muscle. Epimysium consists of dense irregular connective tissue. It serves to separate the muscle fibers from the other types of tissues present in the area to facilitate their independent movement.
