Question
the difference between how organisms look is determined by the organisms...
order of phosphate and sugar
nitrogen base sequence
polymer
rewatch
The genetic information that determines the physical characteristics (phenotype) of organisms is encoded in the DNA. The sequence of nitrogen - bases (adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine) in DNA forms genes, which in turn determine the traits of an organism. The order of phosphate and sugar in DNA is a constant backbone structure and does not carry the genetic information for differences in appearance. Polymers are general large - molecule structures and are too broad to specifically determine organismal appearance differences.
