Question
Which statement best describes the relationship between genes, proteins, and traits?Choose 1 answer:Choose 1 answer:(Choice A) Proteins tell the cell how to make genes, and genes affect an organism’s traits.AProteins tell the cell how to make genes, and genes affect an organism’s traits.(Choice B, Checked) Genes affect an organism’s traits, but proteins do not.BGenes affect an organism’s traits, but proteins do not.(Choice C) Genes tell the cell how to make proteins, and proteins affect an organism’s traits.CGenes tell the cell how to make proteins, and proteins affect an organism’s traits.
Solution
The statement that best describes the relationship between genes, proteins, and traits is (Choice C) Genes tell the cell how to make proteins, and proteins affect an organism’s traits. This is because genes carry the instructions for making proteins, and these proteins, in turn, determine the traits or characteristics of an organism.
