Detailed explanation-1: -The order, or sequence, of these bases determines the information available for building and maintaining an organism, similar to the way in which letters of the alphabet appear in a certain order to form words and sentences.
Detailed explanation-2: -Traits can be determined by genes, environmental factors or by a combination of both. Traits can be qualitative (such as eye color) or quantitative (such as height or blood pressure). A given trait is part of an individual’s overall phenotype.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA carries all the information for your physical characteristics, which are essentially determined by proteins. DNA contains the instructions for making a protein. In DNA, each protein is encoded by a gene (a specific sequence of DNA nucleotides that specify how a single protein is to be made).
Detailed explanation-4: -A set of five nitrogenous bases is used in the construction of nucleotides, which in turn build up the nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. These bases are crucially important because the sequencing of them in DNA and RNA is the way information is stored.
