Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The four types of nitrogen bases found in nucleotides are: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order, or sequence, of these bases determines what biological instructions are contained in a strand of DNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -The order of the Nitrogen Bases determines the number of chromosomes present in an organism. The order of the Nitrogen Bases determines the traits that an organism will possess (have).
Detailed explanation-3: -Under normal circumstances, the nitrogen-containing bases adenine (A) and thymine (T) pair together, and cytosine (C) and guanine (G) pair together. The binding of these base pairs forms the structure of DNA .
