85. The precise sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain is dictated directly by the sequence of

A. Sugars in the cellular polysaccharide matrix
B. Nucleotide triplets within the exons of a structural gene
C. Histone proteins forming the core nucleosomes
D. Fatty acids in the surrounding membrane

📝 Explanation

The linear sequence of nucleotide codons inside exons determines the exact order of amino acids added during protein translation.
