1
Q
Describe how the order of bases in a section of DNA decides the order of amino acids in the protein
A
every protein is formed from a specific number of amino acids in a particular order. the order of the bases in the DNA defines the order in which the amino acids are joined together: so one section of DNA codes for one particular protein.
