Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which DNA structure provides a set of instructions for a cell to make specific proteins?
A
cell
B
nucleus
C
gene
D
ribosome
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These instructions are stored inside each of your cells, distributed among 46 long structures called chromosomes. These chromosomes are made up of thousands of shorter segments of DNA, called genes. Each gene stores the directions for making protein fragments, whole proteins, or multiple specific proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each DNA sequence that contains instructions to make a protein is known as a gene.

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a long molecule that contains our unique genetic code. Like a recipe book it holds the instructions for making all the proteins in our bodies.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each protein is coded for by a specific section of DNA called a gene. A gene is the section of DNA required to produce one protein.

Detailed explanation-5: -In fact, each gene in cellular DNA contains the code for a unique protein structure. Not only are these proteins assembled with different amino acid sequences, but they also are held together by different bonds and folded into a variety of three-dimensional structures.
