Question

genes contain specific instructions for how to make (1 point) nucleotides. carbon. gametes. proteins.

Explanation:

Genes are segments of DNA. The central dogma of molecular biology states that DNA (which contains genes) is transcribed into RNA, and then RNA is translated into proteins. Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), not what genes directly code for making. Carbon is an element and not the product genes code for. Gametes are reproductive cells (sperm and egg) and genes are in the DNA within cells but don't directly code for making gametes in the sense of the immediate product of gene expression. Proteins are synthesized based on the instructions in genes.

Answer:

proteins.
