Solution

The primary structure of the protein.

The sequence of nucleotides within a gene directly determines the sequence of amino acids in the protein, which is known as its primary structure. The secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of a protein are determined by the interactions between the amino acids, which can be influenced by many factors and are not directly determined by the nucleotide sequence.
