The genetic code is primarily located in the nucleotides in DNA. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA, consisting of a phosphate group, a sugar (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), and a nitrogenous base. The sequence of these nucleotides encodes the genetic information necessary for the development and functioning of living organisms.
Humans have thousands of genes that combine in different ways to help create unique individuals. Where is the genetic code primarily located?
Phosphates in DNA
Nucleotides in DNA
Ribose sugars in RNA
Exons in RNA
