Our genetic material, dna, is formed from a 4 letter "alphabet" of bases: a, t, g, c (adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine). the order in which the letters are arranged is important, but because a molecule can move, there is no difference between a sequence and the same sequence reversed. for example, the sequence (a, a, t, a, g, a, t) is the same as the sequence (t, a, g, a, t, a, a). (in reality, dna molecules have identifiable ends, but ignore that in this problem.)

I’m guessing this is choose an answer?!

A) yes, the order is important. Very important.

B) not sure what the molecule moving is about but the reverse sequence is not at all like the forward sequence

C) DNA molecules do have identifiable ends.
