The sequence of nitrogenous bases in DNA varies from organism to organism. Why is the sequence of bases in DNA most important?

• It provides the instructions for the traits of an organism

• Allows the DNA to have the shape necessary for replication

• Prevents mutations from occurring during DNA replication

• Helps form the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA molecules
