Sladkaya [172]
The order that the nucleotides are arranged in form different "codes" to create traits. RNA in humans is used for transporting, and making the amino acid proteins. The order of amino acid proteins also changes the polypeptide formed, and changes more traits, and characteristics. Basically, it's like reading a book. Each book is made up of the same 26 letters, but their all arranged in different orders. You can find the some of the same words in another book, but no two books are exactly alike.

One of the main characteristics of this compound is the absence of the 3'-hydroxyl group in the deoxyribose, due to the absence of this group, it is impossible to form a phosphodiester bond between nucleotides and the DNA synthesis is stopped.
