Detailed explanation-1: -Characteristics that are encoded in DNA are called genetic traits. Different types of human traits are inherited in different ways. Some human traits have simple inheritance patterns like the traits that Gregor Mendel studied in pea plants. Other human traits have more complex inheritance patterns.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA encodes information through the order, or sequence, of the nucleotides along each strand. Each base-A, C, T, or G-can be considered as a letter in a four-letter alphabet that spells out biological messages in the chemical structure of the DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genes dictate a person’s eye color, IQ level, personality traits, and body type. Therefore, the sequence in which the bases appear plays a vital role in building and maintaining a living organism. DNA has two biopolymer strands called polynucleotides and is further made of monomer units known as nucleotides.
