This is not known. John von Neumann is commonly credited, but he simply documented an idea that had been discussed for some time by the various designers of ENIAC.

When DNA does not provide instructions for assembling a protein properly?

When DNA does not provide instructions for assembling a protein properly, this could be dangerous. This is caused by inability of the genes to pass the encoded message to amino acids.


The diffence between human virus and computer viruses?

Human viruses take over human cellular functions. These human viruses have either RNA or DNA instruction sets surrounded by a protein coat. After these instructions enter the human cell, they co-opt cell functions to perform duties the virus wants done. Computer viruses take over computer functions. Computer viruses are programs created by humans and have a series of 1's and 0's to make up instruction sets. After these instructions enter the computer, they co-opt computer functions to perform duties the virus wants done. So, the biggest difference is that the human virus instruction set is encoded in biological molecules of RNA or DNA, and the computer virus instruction set is encoded in 1's and 0's that the computer sees as a program to run.

How are all quantities represented in a digital computer?

As encoded values composed of one or more bits. A small number of computers used trits instead of bits, but these were rare. Some computers of a new type currently being developed called quantum computers use quebits instead of bits. But the important thing common to all digital computers is the encoded values.This is in contrast to analog computers where quantities are represented as continuous values.
