DNA fingerprinting
You can see the nucleotide sequences in the DNA. It is called as DNA finger printing. It has got many applications in molecular biology.
Running BLAST using amino acids generally yields more specific matches compared to using nucleotides. This is because protein sequences are shorter and more conserved than nucleotide sequences, allowing for clearer identification of homologous proteins. Additionally, amino acid sequences are less prone to variation than nucleotide sequences, which can have multiple codons for the same amino acid, leading to a higher likelihood of identifying functionally related proteins.
Yes. This can happen via a gene duplication in a single organism or by shear coincidence (though its increasingly unlikely the biggest the sequence in question). Identical sequences can happen across species due to heredity from a common ancestor of a common gene or genetic marker, such as we see in ERVs and analysis from computational genomics.
Telomeres
There are 64 (4^3) different possible base sequences in a nucleotide chain that is three nucleotides in length. This is because there are 4 possible nucleotide bases (A, T, C, G), and each position in the sequence can be occupied by any one of these 4 bases.

These nucleotide sequences are called anticodons.

Telomeres
Amino acid sequences are made up of building blocks called amino acids, while nucleotide sequences are made up of building blocks called nucleotides. Amino acid sequences determine the structure and function of proteins, while nucleotide sequences determine the genetic information in DNA and RNA.

A telomere is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at the end of a chromosome that protects it from deterioration or from fusion with neighboring chromosomes. Telomeres shorten with each cell division, eventually contributing to cellular aging and senescence. They play a crucial role in maintaining genomic stability.
When comparing nucleotide sequences in organisms, we find that the organisms that have less differences in their nucleotide sequences are closer related in the evolutionary tree. By this we mean that the common ancestor from which these two organisms evolved is more modern than the ancestor they might share with an organism that shows more difference in the DNA sequencing. Example: the chimps and humans share a common ancestor that is relatively modern because the difference in their nucleotide sequences is just about 1% but the differences between the nucleotide sequence of humans and fish shows lots of differences which shows their common ancestor y much older than the one with chimps.
Both nucleotide and amino acid sequences are essential components of genetic material. They both consist of building blocks that are arranged in a specific order to encode genetic information. Additionally, both sequences play crucial roles in the functioning and regulation of biological processes within cells.
