Genes are made up of ________ ?
Correct answer: C. Polynucleotides
- A. Histones
- B. Lipoproteins
- C. Polynucleotides
- D. Hydrocarbons
Explanation
Genes are made of polynucleotides because DNA is a polymer consisting of many nucleotide units joined in long chains, and genes are segments of that DNA. Histones are common distractors because they bind and organize DNA in chromosomes, but genes are not made of histone proteins.
