The SRPF gene provides instructions for making a transmembrane protein called CF.
Some genes serve as instructions for making molecules called proteins.
Genes are made of DNA.
Gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity.

Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 1.Key Points

The SRPF gene does not provide instructions for making a transmembrane protein called CF.
The SRPF gene actually provides instructions for making a protein called Sec61, which is a component of the protein export machinery in cells.
The protein CF is made by a different gene, called CFTR.

Additional Information

Option 2: Genes encode the instructions for synthesizing proteins. These instructions are carried out by RNA, which reads the gene and then produces the corresponding protein.
- Proteins play many crucial roles in our bodies, from catalyzing metabolic reactions to forming the structural components of tissues.
Option 3: Genes are segments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body.
Option 4: Genes are the fundamental units of heredity, responsible for passing traits from parents to offspring.
- They provide the instructions for building and maintaining the organism.
