Genetic information in the DNA is encoded as:
Correct answer: D. Sequence of nitrogenous bases
- A. Deoxyribose sugar
- B. Ribose sugar
- C. Phosphate group
- D. Sequence of nitrogenous bases
Explanation
The genetic information of DNA is encoded as the sequence of nitrogenous bases. The specific sequence of nitrogenous bases on DNA (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine) leads to the formation of specific mRNA during the transcription process. This mRNA is then converted into a specific protein corresponding to the specific sequence of nitrogenous bases.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA-protein structures that carry genes and become visible during cell division. Coverage includes chromatin, centromeres, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chromosome number, and the distinction between diploid and haploid cells, with links to DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
