In all cells it is DNA, in viruses it is sometimes DNA and sometimes RNA.
DNA (DeoxyriboNeucleic Acid) and RNA (RiboNeucleic Acid)
The genetic code is contained in the molecule called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA is a long, double-helix structure that carries the genetic instructions used in the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known living organisms.
The form of nucleic acid that allows it to be used as a code is DNA. This is because DNA is the genetic code for everyone's genetic make up.

DNA (Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid)
From a nucleic acid code to an amino acid code
Not exactly. DNA contains the genetic code; RNA is what transcribes it.
RNA: Ribo Nucleic Acid mRNA: Messenger Ribo Nucleic Acid tRNA: Transfer Ribo Nucleic Acid
Messenger RNA is copied (transcribed) from DNA. It carries a special nucleic acid code (template) that is used by Transfer RNA to synthesize proteins. It takes three adjacent nucleic acids in the Messenger RNA template to code one Amino Acid in a protein.
The sequence of nucleotides in a nucleic acid, specifically the arrangement of the four different bases (adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine), allows it to store and transmit information as a genetic code. By combining these bases in different sequences, nucleic acids can encode the instructions for building and functioning of living organisms.
Yes, nucleic acids contain the genetic code in the form of sequences of nucleotides. In DNA, the genetic code is composed of four nucleotides (A, T, C, G) that encode the instructions for building and functioning of an organism. RNA also carries genetic information in some viruses and plays a role in the translation of the genetic code into proteins.
