The nucleotide sequence in DNA codes for specific codons [group of three sequential ] nucleotides which in turn code for specific amino acids which make up protiens, produced in DNA transcription the the ribosome. Genetic information allows specific protiens to be made, in accordance to what the cell needs.
I think the answer is B- nucleotide sequence, hope this helped!

B. nucleotide sequence
The key to answering this question is knowing that the sequence, or order, of nucleotides determines the order of amino acids in proteins. Proteins then perform multiple functions within the cell. More precisely, three nucleotides together comprise a codon and this codon then specifies an amino acid, according to the genetic code. See e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_code

B. nucleotide sequence
The nucleotide sequence is commonly represented by A, T, C, and G (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine) that you see making up many representations of DNA strands. The way in whic these four units combine will determine the genetic structure of an organism. DNA is a double helix (meaning two strings together spiraled to look like a staircase). In this staircase, each step is a pair; A and T go together and C and G match up.

Peptide bonds are between amino acids that make proteins. Nucleotide sequence is the sequence that makes DNA what it is and the genes that it creates.
Nucleotides are made up of three chemicals....a phosphate, carbohydrate and base....these 3 together make up a monomer or a repeating unit that make up DNA. These monomers can be compared to the pearls on a pearl necklace....the 3 together in DNA are 1 pearl. Many pearls together make up the DNA molecule.
Hope this helps!
