In All Cells, Genes are Composed Of

Question

In all cells, genes are composed of
A) nucleic acids.
B) mRNA.
C) proteins.
D) chaperones.

Accepted Answer

Genes are composed of nucleic acids, specifically DNA or RNA, which contain the instructions for the production of proteins. mRNA is a type of RNA molecule that carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosome during protein synthesis. Proteins are the end product of gene expression, and chaperones are proteins that assist with the folding and stabilization of other proteins. However, genes themselves are primarily composed of nucleic acids.
