What is the relationship between the sequence of DNA’s subcomponents and the properties of DNA? 1. The amino acid sequence along a segment of DNA determines the three-dimensional shape of the protein that will be produced. 2. The deoxyribose sequence in a DNA molecule determines the complementary molecule that will form double stranded DNA. 3. The nitrogenous base sequence along a segment of DNA determines the amino acid sequence that will be produced. 4. The sequence of enzymes in a DNA molecule determines the direction in which DNA will be transcribed into mRNA.

Answer:

3.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four nitrogenous bases in a DNA including guanine (G), adenine (A), cytosine (C) and Thymine (T) and together they form the nitrogenous base sequence arranged in a specific order of three letters such as GAC and TAG to form a genetic code.

These nitrogenous base sequences forming genetic code are amino acid specific and determine the amino acid sequence in DNA. for example: CTT determines leucine and GTT determines valine.

Hence, the correct option is "3".
