Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand that DNA stores genetic information in a specific way that allows it to be read and translated into proteins.
Recall that DNA is composed of a sugar-phosphate backbone and nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine).
Recognize that the sugar-phosphate backbone provides structural support but does not encode genetic information itself.
Focus on the nitrogenous bases, which pair specifically (A with T, C with G) and whose order determines the genetic code.
Conclude that the sequence (order) of nitrogenous bases along the DNA strand is what encodes genetic information.
