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?(1 point)

Responses

The interlocking bricks are the chromosomes.
The interlocking bricks are the chromosomes.

The manual is a chromosome.
The manual is a chromosome.

Each structure is a gene.
Each structure is a gene.

Each set of instructions is a protein.

In this analogy, the correct statement is:

Each structure is a gene.

In this model, the manual contains instructions (like DNA) for building various structures (which represent genes). Each structure produced by following the instructions corresponds to a specific gene. The interlocking bricks could represent the individual nucleotides or building blocks of DNA, while the manual illustrates how these pieces come together to create genes and ultimately proteins.
