Here's how it works:
* DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is a molecule that contains the genetic instructions for an organism.
* DNA is made up of four bases: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G), and Cytosine (C).
* These bases are arranged in specific sequences, forming genes.
* Genes contain the code for making proteins. Each three-base sequence within a gene is called a codon, and each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid.
* Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
* The sequence of bases in a gene dictates the sequence of amino acids in a protein. This sequence determines the protein's shape and function.
So, the bases in DNA hold the instructions for protein synthesis by specifying the sequence of amino acids that will make up each protein.
