How does DNA carry information?

Best Answer

DNA codes information on the patterns made with four bases, adenine (abbreviated A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T).

Across the rungs of the double helix, A pairs with T, and C pairs with G and the order of these bases is the information code.

A nucleus of a cell contains chromosomes that carry genetic information. Chromosomes are made from long, coiled molecules of DNA. A gene is a shorter region of DNA that carries the genetic code for a particular characteristic.

There are whole sciences on that question, but here is my quick answer:

Nucleotide sequences (of bases of three) each correspond to an amino acid. When DNA is fed through a ribosomes, Amino Acids are found by the ribosomes to correspond to the sequence of bases in that particular gene. After many ribosomes that a DNA goes through a polypeptide is formed (a string of amino acids). A protein's type depends entirely on the structure of a polypeptide (the sequence of which is determined by the DNA sequence). And then proteins practically control all life (not just your muscles) as the cytoskeletons of your cells are made up of protein.

Yes. A nucleic acid is your DNA and RNA.

DNA = deoxyriboNUCLEIC ACID

RNA = riboNUCLEIC ACID
