Ans.

Proteins perform most of the functions of the cells and are basic units of functions and structure in the body cells. In all organisms, most of the traits are determined by proteins, synthesized by specific gene sequences, such as eye color, height, or hair color. Thus, the correct word to complete first statement is 'proteins.'

DNA is genetic material of all living organisms and viruses (except RNA viruses) that store genetic information. It is known as blueprint for proteins as it has instructions required for the protein synthesis. Thus, the correct word to complete second statement is 'DNA.'

Genes are smallest structural and functional units of DNA that code for a specific gene products (either RNA or proteins). In all organisms, each trait is determined by one or more than genes. Thus, the correct word to complete third statement is 'genes.'
