A nucleic acid sequence is a series of nucleotides, which are the basic building blocks of nucleic acids like DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). Each nucleotide consists of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. The sequence of these nucleotides determines the genetic information carried by the nucleic acid.
