The pattern of numbers in a molecule that carries generic information is represented by the sequence of nucleotides in DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA is the genetic material that carries all the information needed to build and maintain an organism. The sequence of nucleotides in DNA, specifically the sequence of the four bases Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G), encodes the information for the synthesis of proteins and other molecules essential for the organism's survival. This sequence is unique for each organism, and variations in this sequence can lead to genetic variation, which is the basis for evolution and adaptation.
