Question

which of the following aspects of a dna molecule is responsible for determining the traits of an organism?
number of phosphates
amount of thymine
sequence of nucleotides
type of bond between bases

DNA is composed of nucleotides. The sequence of these nucleotides forms genes. Genes contain the instructions for making proteins. Proteins are responsible for the traits of an organism. The number of phosphates, amount of thymine, and type of bond between bases do not directly determine traits.

Answer:

sequence of nucleotides
