Which phrase best describes a gene?
grigory [225]

Answer: The correct answer is 3) A segment of a DNA molecule that contains  the instructions for producing a trait in an  organism.

Gene is a segment of DNA molecule that contains instructions ( in the form of nucleotide sequences), which are required for producing a specific trait ( characteristic) of an organism.

For this, gene is first transcribed into mRNA ( messenger RNA), which is then translated to produce a particular protein. The protein thus formed gives a specific characteristic to the organism.

Thus, option 3) is the best description for a gene.

If a gas is at a constant rate, what will happen to the pressure when the temperature decreases
