Solution

The correct option is B Sequence of nucleotides
A nucleic acid sequence is a succession of letters that indicate the order of nucleotides within a DNA (using GACT) or RNA (GACU) molecule. By convention, sequences are usually presented from the 5' end to the 3' end. The sequence has capacity to represent information. Biological DNA represents the information which directs the functions of an organism.
