These questions are really horribly worded.

1. b. A gene is a segment of DNA that encodes for a protein.
2. c. This is awfully worded. DNA does not 'make' RNA and RNA does not 'make' proteins. RNA is made by RNA polymerase using a DNA template and complimentry base pairing.
3. b. Again, this is awfully worded. RNA does not make proteins. The ribosome makes proteins using an mRNA (messenger RNA) template.

These are the correct answers but the questions are pretty inaccurately worded.

1. B - (DNA dictates what every cell needs and how it needs to be run in order to function properly. That being said, a gene is a small segment of DNA that instructs the rest of the cell on what to do to make that particular aspect work.)
2. C - (The DNA "imprints" information on the RNA, which then instructs it how to make the proteins.)
3. B - (After the DNA imprints its information onto the RNA, the RNA then "translates" it to make the proteins that the cell needs.)

Hope this helps!

open your science textbook and look it up, don't depend on people here to do your homework. they may not know or may be guessing.
