Detailed explanation-1: -What is the significance of the sequence of nucleotides in DNA in a cell’s nucleus? It codes for specific amino acids that link together to form proteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -The DNA code contains instructions needed to make the proteins and molecules essential for our growth, development and health.
Detailed explanation-3: -Each sequence of three nucleotides, called a codon, usually codes for one particular amino acid. (Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.) A type of RNA called transfer RNA (tRNA) assembles the protein, one amino acid at a time.
Detailed explanation-4: -The sequence tells scientists the kind of genetic information that is carried in a particular DNA segment. For example, scientists can use sequence information to determine which stretches of DNA contain genes and which stretches carry regulatory instructions, turning genes on or off.
