Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the structure of DNA determines the structure of proteins. Be sure to describe the steps in the process of protein synthesis. Use information from the lesson to support your response.

The sequence of bases in a DNA molecule can determine the order of amino acids in a protein molecule. Groups of three bases called triplets represent different amino acids. This is the basis of the genetic code . A sequence of bases (genetic information) on DNA that codes for a protein is called a gene .

Explanation:

the diploid number of chromosomes is sometimes represented by the symbol 2n. for the fruit fly, the diploid number is 8, which can be written as 2n = 8, where n represents twice the number of chromosomes in a sperm or egg cell.
