Answer:

The correct answer is the D.genes option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

Let's analyze each of the options:

Proteins are units of amino acids linked together.

The loci, in the singular locus, is a position on a chromosome.

Chromosomes are structures that contain, in an orderly manner, DNA.

Genes are the means by which genetic information is transmitted.

We will conclude that the correct answer is the D.genes option.
