Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genes direct the formation of proteins, which are made up of a string of amino acids. Chromosomes are structures that contain DNA and genes, but they do not directly form proteins. Gametes are sex cells that contain half the genetic material of a normal cell and do not contain proteins. DNA stores genetic information but does not directly form proteins.
