In theory, a DNA sequence directly dictates the amino acid sequence of a protein. However, in practice, this is not always accurate because some genes can produce multiple different proteins.
Sequence of DNA in theory should predict sequence of amino acids in all the proteins it produces, in reality some genes can code for many different proteins.
| Front | Explain why, in theory, knowing a DNA sequence should allow you to identify the sequence of amino acids in the protein that the DNA sequence codes for. Also explain why in practice this doesn't always provide the correct sequence of amino acids in the protein. |
