Question

Within each gene, elements of DNA are arranged in a particular order, forming a code that influences the synthesis of particular proteins.  This code affects every aspect of the body, from its structure to the chemicals that keep it running.  The above process describes:

A) Linkage studies

B) How genes mutate

C) How natural selection occurs

D) How genes affect characteristics of the organism

We ruled out (C) and (D) and leaning towards (A) but don't want to completely rule out (B)??
