Can someone please help me?

I don't understand what the whole G A T C thing is, I am confused on what they do, and what it means when my assignments have it like [AATCGAT or TATGGCAT] (<--Example)

What does it mean when they are sequenced like that?

Step-by-step explanation:

G A T and C are all bits of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)

G stands for Guanine A stands for Adenine C stands for Cytosine and T stands for Thymine, when Guanine is in the DNA it always pairs with Cytosine creating G-C and the same is for Thymine and Adenine, when they are sequenced in such a way it just shows how the DNA is placed.
