In the Morse code,a series of dots and dashes code for letters of the alphabet.How is this analogous to the genetic code?
A)There is complementarity in the genetic code (A is complementary to T,and C is complementary to G).
B)The bases that make up DNA are associated by hydrogen bonds.
C)The machinery involved in DNA synthesis is analogous to the telegraph equipment used in sending Morse code.
D)The bases of DNA code for the more complex amino acid sequence of the various proteins found in cells.

Both Morse code and the genetic code involve a sequence of units (dots and dashes for Morse code, nucleotides for the genetic code) that code for something more complex (letters of the alphabet for Morse code, amino acid sequences for the genetic code). In the case of the genetic code, the sequence of nucleotides codes for the sequence of amino acids that make up proteins.
