1. Gene

2. DNA

3. Protein

4. mRNA

5. genes

6. alleles

Explanation:

The DNA is known as the genetic material of the organism as it instructs or codes for other molecules of life especially the proteins.

The segment of DNA that codes for the protein is known as genes which are present on the chromosomes in two variants called alleles.

The process of formation of proteins from DNA takes place in two processes: transcription which forms mRNA in the nucleus which gets exported out of the cell to the cytoplasm in order to translate into a protein molecule through the translation process.
