The best choice is A.

A gene is a specific sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that is located usually on a chromosome and that specifies the structure of a particular polypeptide and especially a protein, or controls the function of other genetic material.

Information from the gene is copied (transcribed) on mRNA in the nucleus. mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where it attaches to a ribosome. The information on the attached  mRNA is  decoded (translated) by tRNA  which then fetches the amino acids according to this information and brings them to the ribosome where they are linked together to form the specified protein.

According to your worldview, what value does a human person have? How does your position affect your stance on controversial bio
nalin [4]

A human life is so valuable that no single price should be placed on it. The effect on this stance on bioethical issues however, is relative.

<h3>Relativity of Human value to Bioethical issues</h3>
  • A person's stance on a bioethical issue can be based on which human life they value more, the person that will gain, or the one that will be affected.
  • With abortion, one might argue that the value of the mother is higher than the baby's because not having to take care of a child will give her a better life.
  • Designer babies might be more valuable because their lower rate of birth defects mean that they are tougher and less expensive to maintain.
  • Stem cell research could save many lives so more value might be placed on these lives than the embryos affected.

In conclusion, a person can see another life as valuable yet have relative views on bioethical issues.
