DNA is the genetic material that contains all the genetic information that codes for proteins: meaning, the sequence of bases of the DNA code for the sequence of amino acids in a protein. So the cell knows which type of protein to synthesize and of what amino acid sequence because of the DNA.
Proteins are the most important biomolecules in the body. Without them, all the biological mechanisms in the body become incompatible with life. Why? Take enzymes for instance. Most enzymes are proteins. If the body cannot synthesize proteins, then it cannot synethesize enzymes. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of a reaction. Without them, and the metabolic reactions/activites of a cell would be too slow and hence incompatible with life. That's just an example.

LMAO --- only 1 answer here was correct...DNA IS NOT PROTEIN>.. DNA contains the code or sequence for what proteins are made.... DNA - is deoxy (lacking an Oxygen) Ribose (a 5 carbon sugar) Nucleic (containing nucleotides- A adenine, T - thymine, C- cytosine, & G - Guanine) acid linked together with a phosphate backbone.. .... DNA is very important because it gives the instructions on how to make proteins and what proteins to make....Proteins are the most important molecules in the body... proteins are what all cells are made of... they contain most of the cells mass.... they make up its membrane and cell shape...they make up the cell and tells them what to do ..their function..and many many other things.... Enzymes are specfic proteins .. that make chemicals react or speed up cellular function or activity...----Tried to give an easy explanation.... ;-)

In a single sentence: DNA is the template for proteins.
DNA stores information which later on it can be copied and then changed into proteins.

A genome is rather a database of suggestions contained in this variety of nucleic acid sequences (DNA). i will anticipate you already be attentive to the relationships between DNA, amino acids, and proteins, by the actuality you asked a question on the concern. Computing additionally bargains with databases -- how suggestions is saved, retrieved, used, processed, and so on. Computing is likewise a significant device in molecular biology examine, so as that would desire to be yet another perspective. i will go away it to you to connect the dots.

DNA is made up of proteins. They are complex proteins called helix's a single DNA strand is made up of a double helix.

Briefly, DNA is a genetic material composed of nucleotides. DNA sequence contains genes. genes are recipies for making RNA and proteins. First, genes are copied (transcribed) into RNA which is a sequence of nucleotides. Then RNA is translated into proteins in the ribosome. proteins are sequences of amino acids. every three nucleotides code for a single amino acid. so a gene that is 900 nucleotides long (coding sequence) will code for a protein that is 100 amino acid long.

a DNA molecule essentially a big protein molecule. protein molecules, like DNA, are made up of amino acids. That's what they have in common.

dna is the master mind of the cell ,it commands the synthesis and has the info for protein synthesis to be produced in correct amino acid sequence
