Detailed explanation-1: -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. Genes are typically hundreds or thousands of base pairs in length because they code for proteins made of hundreds or thousands of amino acids.
Detailed explanation-2: -A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a functional product (mRNA, tRNA, or rRNA).
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: 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).
Detailed explanation-4: -Segments of DNA that carry genetic information are called genes, and they are inherited by offspring from their parents during reproduction.
