Question

Our genetic blueprint is encoded in our DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) DNA is made up of nucleotides, which include (among other things) one of four types of nitrogen bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C).

A DNA sequence is represented by these bases, for example, GATCAGCTAG. The order of these bases in our DNA determines our individual genetic code. If you're interested, you can watch a 5-minute animated video on What is DNA and How Does it Work?
Sometimes to process DNA data files, a consensus sequence is created when there are many similar DNA sequences in a file. A consensus sequence is obtained by choosing the most highly-occurring nucleotide in each position.

Answer 1

DNA stores the genetic information in the sequence of its 4 bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). The genetic code consists of the sequence of nitrogen bases in a polynucleotide chain of DNA or RNA. The genetic code is responsible for determining the sequence of amino acids in a protein.

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA, or Deoxyribonucleic Acid, stores the genetic information of the cell in the sequence of its 4 bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). The order of these bases in our DNA determines our individual genetic code. The genetic code consists of the sequence of nitrogen bases in a polynucleotide chain of DNA or RNA. The bases are combined in groups of three to form code "words," called codons, which represent specific amino acids. Each codon encodes one amino acid, unless it codes for a start or stop signal. The genetic code is responsible for determining the sequence of amino acids in a protein, and it is vital for the proper functioning of living organisms.
