question 17 of 25
how are genes and proteins related?
a. proteins are made of parts of genes.
b. genes contain the code to make proteins.
c. proteins are used to build genes.
d. genes and proteins are both made of dna.

Explanation:

Genes are segments of DNA. Through processes like transcription and translation, the genetic information in genes (DNA sequence) is used to synthesize proteins. Proteins are made from amino acids, and genes provide the instructions (code) for assembling these amino acids in the correct order to form specific proteins. Option A is incorrect as proteins are not made of parts of genes in that way. Option C is wrong as proteins are the products, not used to build genes. Option D is incorrect because proteins are not made of DNA (genes are made of DNA).

Answer:

B. Genes contain the code to make proteins.
