Real World Example
Imagine trying to assemble a puzzle without the picture on the box as a guide. Just like a puzzle relies on individual pieces fitting together to create a complete image, nucleic acids like DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotide pieces that fit together to form genetic instructions. Each nucleotide acts like a puzzle piece, and when combined in the correct sequence, they provide the blueprint for building and maintaining an organism, much like how the completed puzzle reveals the entire picture.
