Proteins Contain Twenty Different Subunits ____

Question

Proteins contain twenty different subunits ____.
A) that are the carriers of genetic information
B) arranged in a double helix attached to DNA
C) including thymine, cytosine, guanine, and adenine
D) in the form of nucleotides
E) in the form of amino acids

Accepted Answer

Proteins are composed of chains of amino acids, which are referred to as subunits. There are 20 different types of amino acids that can be combined in different ways to form a wide range of proteins. The other options are incorrect as genetic information is carried by DNA or RNA, thymine, cytosine, guanine, and adenine are nucleotide bases found in DNA, and nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).
