D)histone molecules.
E)complementary bases.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The information encoded in genes is in the form of DNA sequence made up of nucleotides. To bring about changes and variation, this sequence is read and transcribed into RNA sequence which in turn is translated to a sequence of amino acids that fold and make up proteins. Thus genes encode information for the production of proteins, and hereditary traits are determined by the expression of these proteins.
