C
The sequence of nucleotides in the albumin gene (and the mRNA transcribed from it) determines the order of codons, which directly specifies the sequence of amino acids incorporated during translation. Temperature, chromosome number, and available energy affect rate or capacity but not the amino acid sequence.
