Question

Genes are segments of ___________ that code for __________synthesis.

a. chromosomes; proteins
b. chromosomes; DNA
c. genes; polysaccharide
d. chromosomes; amino acids

Answer 1

The answer is a. chromosomes; proteins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Genes are segments of chromosomes that code for protein synthesis. Even though in the process, genes do form amino-acids, the final target is to synthesize proteins that play several roles in the cell. Genes are packed in chromosomes so they can fit the cell, otherwise, they would be too long to do so.
