Detailed explanation-1: -Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The right answer to this question is that “The sequence of DNA that codes for a protein and thus determines a trait is called a gene".
Detailed explanation-3: -All protein-coding regions begin with the sequence “ATG, ” which encodes the amino acid methionine (Met).
Detailed explanation-4: -The gene’s sequence is like language that instructs cell to manufacture a particular protein. An intermediate language, encoded in the sequence of Ribonucleic Acid (RNA), translates a gene’s message into a protein’s amino acid sequence. It is the protein that determines the trait. This is called central dogma of life.
