Description
DNA sequence. Artwork showing a long sequence of four nucleotide bases in a single strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Some of the DNA sequence is encircling a sphere. It is the sequence of bases that determines the genetic instructions necessary to build an organism. Here each base is represented by a letter: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). In the normal double stranded DNA molecule, these bases pair up: C-G and A-T (not seen here). A gene is made up of a sequence of such base pairs, and the sequence may characterise one of the many genetic traits in humans such as hair or eye colour.
