A manual contains instructions for how to build a variety of structures using a set of interlocking bricks. If this scenario is used as a model for genetic information, which statement is correct?

• Each set of instructions is a protein.
• The manual is a chromosome.
• The interlocking bricks are the chromosomes.
• Each structure is a gene.

In this model, the interlocking bricks are analogous to chromosomes, and each structure that can be built using the bricks is analogous to a gene. Therefore, the correct statement is "Each structure is a gene."
