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.

Does nucleic acid contain genetic code?

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.

Do viruses have a DNA genetic code?

Viruses can have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material, depending on the type of virus. DNA viruses contain DNA as their genetic code, while RNA viruses contain RNA. This genetic material can be single-stranded or double-stranded, and it dictates how the virus replicates and infects host cells. Therefore, not all viruses have a DNA genetic code; it varies based on the virus type.
