In the most efficient model of data storage using DNA, 2 bits of information can be stored per nucleotide position. This is because DNA has four nucleotides (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine), and two bits can represent four distinct values (00, 01, 10, 11), corresponding to the four nucleotides.
