An organism's DNA determines the traits it will haveWhich statement correctly explains how DNA determines the organism's traits?

This question is incomplete as it lacks options, the options are:

1- The sugar and phosphate groups that make up the backbone are used in different sequences to encode an organism’s traits.

2- The bases A, T, C, and G are always present in equal amounts, so each organism is unique.

3- The bases A, T, C, and G in DNA are used in different sequences to encode an organism’s traits.

4- The bases A, T, C, and G are always in the same order in each organism, so each organism is unique.

The answer is 3. The bases A, T, C, and G in DNA are used in different sequences to encode an organism’s traits.

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material in the cells of living organisms. It is a polymer biomolecule made up of nucleotides monomers. The DNA contains information that encodes the synthesis of useful products (proteins), which determines the traits in organisms.

A DNA molecule is made up of four nucleotide subunits viz: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G), and Cytosine (C). These bases, which are used in different sequences, carry the information that encodes an organism's trait.
