Question

question 7 of 10
what determines the genetic code carried by dna?
a. the sequence of its nitrogenous bases
b. the type of proteins it contains
c. the order of its sugars and phosphate groups
d. the number of nucleotides it contains

Explanation:

The genetic code in DNA is determined by the order of nitrogen - containing bases (adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine). Different sequences code for different amino acids and thus different proteins. Proteins are the result of gene expression, not what determines the code. Sugars and phosphate groups form the backbone and nucleotides are the building blocks, but neither determines the code.

Answer:

A. The sequence of its nitrogenous bases
