No, not at all. Carbohydrates consist out of many monosaccarids (Glucose, Galactose, Fructose) wich are ligated to dimers in seemingly endless repetition.
To function as genetic code, there needs to be more variation between the monosaccharids (DNA has four Nucleotides that are dispersed in a far more complex pattern along one strand).
Moreover would the Monosaccharids need some ligands that are able to form hydrogen bonds between them, so that the duplex can be melted for transcription and replication and afterwards reassociated.
Then you need to invent new polymerases and ribosomes, which are able to work with your code.

The genetic code is carried in the DNA on the chromosomes.
Is DNA genetic code or genetic blueprint?
DNA is the genetic code
What is secondary genetic code?
The secondary genetic code is the folding of protein.

What are the Genetic codes contain?
The genetic code is carried in the DNA on the chromosomes.
Does nucleic acid contain genetic code?
DNA does. RNA just sends out messages from DNA to the rest of the cell.
What contains the genetic code lipids carbohydrates nucleic acids proteins?
Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).
Does proteins contain the genetic code?
listen to question before typing. mistake
Does carbohydrates contain sulfur?
no. Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Does diet lemonade contain carbohydrates?
Lemonade is not a carbohydrate. But lemonade do contain carbohydrates.
Do hormones contain carbohydrates?
No, hormones are not carbohydrates.
What nuclear components contain the genetic code controlling cellular processes in eukaryotic cell?
Chromosomes/DNA
What does the four bases of DNA contain?
They're just four chemicals that make up the genetic 'code'.
Does plasma membrane produce proteins?
No. All genetic information is contained in the nucleus, not the plasma membrane, which consists of phospholipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and cholesterol.
