Answer is Option ( a )

Step by step explanation :

Among the options provided, only (a) Fruits and (b) Vegetables are not gene products.


Fruits and vegetables are parts of plants and are made up of various organic compounds such as carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, which are synthesized by the plant through various metabolic pathways. These compounds are not encoded by genes and are not considered gene products.

Meat and poultry (c) are gene products, as they are composed of proteins that are produced through the expression of genes in animals. Hair (d) is also a gene product, as it is made up of proteins that are synthesized from genes in the hair follicles.




Thus, the correct answer to the question is (a) Fruits and (b) Vegetables.
