Correct answers:
- Proteins are created from the code in DNA.
- Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
- Proteins affect the structures and functions of living things.

Brief why: DNA encodes proteins (transcription + translation), proteins are polymers of amino acids, and protein structures determine many cellular structures and functions. The other statements are incorrect (protein synthesis occurs at ribosomes in the cytoplasm/ER, DNA/RNA are nucleic acids, and protein shape is closely related to function).
