If you knew the sequence of nucleotides within a gene,which one of the following could you determine with the most accuracy?
A)the primary structure of the protein
B)the secondary structure of the protein
C)the tertiary structure of the protein
D)the quaternary structure of the protein
E)The answer cannot be determined based on the information provided.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sequence of nucleotides within a gene determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein, also known as its primary structure. Therefore, knowing the gene sequence would allow for accurate determination of the primary structure of the protein. However, predicting the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of a protein requires knowledge beyond just the gene sequence.
