<span>A book contains letters, just like the DNA. It's how the letters are arranged-into words in a book- that makes them mean anything. The same is true of DNA bases. It is how they are arranged that makes them significant.</span>

DNA is like a book because the arrangement of nucleotides in the DNA determines the entire organism’s phenotype.

Further Explanation:

Gene is defined as the linear sequence of the nucleotides that are mainly encoded for a protein having a particular function. The alleles are defined as the variant type of the gene. DNA is mainly made up of the nucleotides and also contains genetic information in the genes. Every nucleotide mainly comprised of the phosphate group, deoxyribose, and nitrogenous base. DNA is mainly composed of four distinct types of nitrogenous base:

  • Cytosine  
  • Adenine
  • Guanine
  • Thymine

The letters in the book are similar to the nucleotide in the DNA. The meaningful combination of letters forms the information that is entitled. Similarly, the arrangement of nucleotides in the DNA is responsible for the structural and functional behavior of the organism. That’s why DNA is considered as a book that enclosed all the genetic information of the body.

Explanation:

Homocysteine is an amino acid produced from demethylation of methionine.The later is an amino acid needed in the body which must be conserved.

In order to conserve it ,Homocysteine is recycled in a specific pathways which inovles activities of Vitamin B6 and B12

.Therefore deficiency of these vitamins leads to elevated levels of Homocysteine.
