How do dna molecules vary from one species to another?

The base-pairs are actually specific sequences of nucleotides (i.e. adenine , thymine, guanine and cytosine, labelled A, T, G, and C respectively) which encode genes. In other words, the DNA in each organism is made of these bases, but their sequences differ from organism to organism.</span>
