Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is B True. Q. Genes are segments of DNA that contain the code for a specific protein.
Detailed explanation-2: -A gene is a segment of DNA that provides the code to construct a protein.
Detailed explanation-3: -A (b) gene is a segment of the DNA molecule that carries the genetic code to make a protein. In order for a gene to generate a protein, it must first be transcribed into a piece of mRNA (messenger RNA). The mRNA will then be translated into a fully functional protein through the process of translation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Gene. A segment of a DNA molecule (a sequence of bases) that codes for a particular protein and determines the traits (phenotype) of the individual. A gene is the basic unit of heredity in a living organism.
Detailed explanation-5: -The basic unit of heredity passed from parent to child. Genes are made up of sequences of DNA and are arranged, one after another, at specific locations on chromosomes in the nucleus of cells.
